[nfbcs] Videos and buffering.

[Steve Jacobson]

Gabe,  The test I mentioned in my note earlier today was 

http://www.speedtest.net 

Which has seemed to be accurate when I've used it.  If the site that you mention is measuring in bytes or characters, that could be part of the difference I 
am seeing but I don't think it explains it all.  Unfortunately, most ISP's seem to advertise in Bits per second, so the average consumer would need to know 
this.  Is this on their site?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
