Note:

Remember, depending on what medium and ISP your using, your Internet connection speed can vary. For example, DSL speeds can be negatively affected by distance and the quality of your phone line. Cable speeds can be negatively affected by the quality of the coax and the amount of users sharing the Internet connection with you. In FTTC (Fiber to the Curb) & FTTP (Fiber to the Premise) applications, the quality of the coax/Cat5 network between your computer and the ISP's fiber network, could affect connection speeds.
