Finally able to test mine out. I have 12Mb/sec download and 1.5Mb/sec upload through Uverse.

Download – 11089 Kb/s

Upload – 1425 Kb/s

Latency – 57ms

Jitter – 2ms

Speakeasy:

Download – 11.53 Mb/s

Upload – 1.46Mb/s

TWC Speed Test (Rochester, NY)
– 19.73 Mbps down
– 0.97 Mbps up

Frontier
– 11.39 Mbps down
– 0.95 Mbps up

Broadband.gov (Ookla test)
– 17.95 Mbps down
– 0.96 Mbps up
– 55ms Latency
– 7 ms JItter

Broadband.gov (Mlab test)
– 16.24 Mbps down
– 0.90 Mbps up
– 205 ms Latency
– 401 ms Jitter

Speedtest.net (Ookla)
– 19.53 Mbps down
– 0.95 Mbps up
– 81 ms Latency

Measurement Lab (mlab)
– 15.89 Mbps up
– 0.88 Mbps down

So what’s it all mean? Well they all pretty much agree I get about 1Mbps up (as advertised), but they disagree a bit about the 15 Mbps down I’m supposed to get, varying from 11.93 Mbps (Frontier) to 19.73 Mbps (TWC) and averaging 16.79 Mbps (better than advertised).

At the end of the day though, I get my web sites and data files in a timely manner most of the time so the exact speed doesn’t matter to me because I don’t notice the lack of speed. If it slowed down significantly I’d probably notice, but fluctuating between 5 Mbps is hard to distinguish. On the other hand, if I had a 50 Mbps connection downstream and a 10 Mbps connection upstream I’m sure I’d notice a drastic difference.

I will also mention that I had a NAT firewall up during the tests without opening any specific ports.
