From their server in Seattle I got 1423 Kbps download and 215Kbps up.
To the Alanta server I got 1524kbps and 229Kbps.

Ah, you're closer to the Atlanta server. (fewer network hops and less network congestion)

I just did another test with interesting results.
I've got a Motorola surfboard cable modem to a linksys BEFSR41 wired router. Then i have a linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to the wired router. The wired router is my DHCP server. Then I go wireless to a Netgear printserver with 4-port switch. My linksys VoIP modem is connected wired to the Netgear switch. The VoIP modem has a fixed IP and is configured as a gaming port to get around my firewall.
I'm on my laptop with a wireless connection, my wife is on the desktop wired connection, and my daughter is on her laptop wireless.
I called a friend on my VoIP phone and ran the test from the Atlanta server.
The neither the download speed or the upload speed seemed to be significantly effected, but when the test went to upload, my friend could barely hear me. Download seemed to have no effect.

I thought that interesting.
