lol, using that method this is what I get:

NOT photoshopped. I think I got you all beat

My "home" connection (the dorm, but it has to count since my parents live outside the country) gets over 1.2 MB/s on certain connections (like Microsoft.com) but the bandwidth tester said I only got 7 mbit/s. Which makes me think it's screwed up, I've seen > 1MB/s on multiple occasions.

At work it's even better...I work at a local high school on a 100mbit network, and once all the kids and teachers are gone the speeds get INSANE. I think the fastest I've actually seen was on the order of 6 MB/s.
Damn dude, you're off the chart!! :Q

Ditto here, OOL rules. I can hit 10mb 24/7 as long as the server on the other end cooperates. It's nice to be able to grab those 200 megabtye game demos in 3 minutes.
