By doing the speed test at Speakeasy.com, before and after the upgrade, I was able to see just how much faster it really is.
Here are my 56k dial-up results:
Download Speed: 39 kbps (5.2 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 223 kbps (28 KB/sec transfer rate) (I was a little shocked to see that my upload had a better speed than my download.)
My smoking 1.5Mbps connection results:
Download Speed: 1610 kbps (201.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 848 kbps (106 KB/sec transfer rate)
I might actually be able to play some games online now!

So, what results do you guys get from the test?
