Screw the other tests, the only one I've found to be reliable is http://testmy.net. You should be getting at least 75-80% of your advertised speed during peak hours (hopefully 90%-100%), and you should be able to get the full bandwidth during off-peak hours. Always plug in to the router directly with an ethernet cable to get the most accurate reading, I've found that even on a wireless G network, you can lose 20% or more of your speed when wireless due to interference, overhead, etc.

I got the speed above on a Wireless router... then again I have a badass router haha

You must have N, then and a very badass router! The basic Linksys wireless G routers tend to drop some speed, especially when using any type of encryption. The biggest problem I've seen, though is that everybody leaves their router on Channel 6, so there's a ton of interference if there are other wireless networks around. To the OP, you should log on to your router and try setting it to a few different wireless channels to see if there's any improvement in speed.

D-Link Xtreme N wireless router :P One of the most badass routers on the market. Well I dunno where it stands now but like 6 months ago it was like top 5 on the market.
