Essentially the speed test as a whole is rubbish...I said on another thread that a certain company here in ireland ****ed off a load of its customers due to speed issues....all the tests were saying over 15mb down but you couldn't even browse.  
TornFalcon [2042205]

wow, 15 down is so small though. Is that a norm where you are?
our main providers here, their like least amount of speed is 
50mbps. I pay for 300, and get normally 320-380.. through wifi or hardline. 

interestingly enough in the house the wifi generally gets almost just
as much as hardlines do.

Generally I'm getting between 6 and 13mb down with the provider I'm currently with.  We've no fibre here and it's too much hassle to get copper.  There is line of sight wireless but you're tied into an 18 month contract and hardware install is pricey.

What do you guys do with such crazy speeds?

I have an 8MB connection, and any higher than this couldn't really help me in any way?

Torrents download at 1MBPS which means you can select sequential download and start watching instantly. 

No delay on facebook, insta, SC, torn etc.

Netflix loads top quality without delay unless lots of phones are connected.

How do you use 350MBPS?
