Hey, i was just looking around and i did a test on which browser is faster on my computer and i was suprised. Here's the results:

Damn, IE looks faster by ~1500kbits/s the upload is about the same

C'mon man, you know that IE is runnin' shhhh! 

FF is just a fad. It will die out soon enough. As soon as IE7 becomes official, it will offer everything that any browser on the market offers, but better. Most of Firefox's features are useless, and depending on speed isn't working out all that well for them. The handful of people that use it (10% market share), are not nearly enough to dethrone the champion.

All hail Internet Explorer!!!

No real difference here.

Damn Van your connection is REALLY amazing now... haha, you win man... YOU WIN!

hes testing a 100Mbps connection overseas which is like, a lot of million of miles i think, so he wont get good speeds on a U.S. server, but his mirror, he gets 70+ and 90+ on the swedish miranda site.

yea its great, but ive decided to go back to 10 Mbps. this is almost twice as expensive and im not hosting any servers due to my slow PC hehe

But its been fun to test 

I think it will take a month or so before im back to 10 Mbps
