Cable internet

[ltlruss]

I have cable internet rated at 1M down/ 256 up... I just ran a speed test ad dslreports.com and it said my down speed was 2670. I was wondering if anyone knows how accurate that is... It doesn't even seem reasonable. I downloaded a large file just to see the dl speed and it was running at about 350k per sec. Just a few weeks ago I was only averaging about 100k per sec. I haven't made any real changes. Guess I won't complain. I'll just take advantage of it while it lasts. Well, my original question is, is it even reasonable for me to be getting a speed 2.5 times the advertised speed?

It means alot with dsl aswell or atleast with my adsl because between the time 6pm - 11pm i cant hit anything on any fps games because of my ping is always about twice as bad as i usaully have.
