You should probably use a larger file, say a 1 megabyte file, as opposed to a 25 kilobyte file, because transfers "spike" at the start of transfer and settle back down. Then you'll get a more accurate gauge of your upload/download speed.

I tried it with the 200Mbps file (the largest this site has) with the same results. Is there another site that tests this with a larger file?

I read the thread more closely after I had posted. Fiber, at home - you should be able to see the green (with envy) from where you are.
I'll have to test this at the office. We have 2 T1 lines there.
