Re: Speedtest Results speedtest.net vs Mikrotik bandwidth test

[Chris Hindy <chindy () lwpca net>]

I can run two speedtest.net session side by side on my home network on one
laptop, and over VPN to my employer's Long Island locale on a second,
pointed at the same speedtest server, over the same wifi and ADSL and have
the VPN connection report speeds that are (a) 50% better on VPN than not;
and, (b) exceed my ADSL's hard cap by 10+ mbps.  That smells a bit fishy
to me, all in all.
