The funny thing about running them from our VDSes/dedicated machines is that we have more available throughput than the test sites -- so you'll always see a number that's lower than reality :).

Why in the world would you want to run a speedtest site permanently? And if it's on low-quality bandwidth, it will decrease the quality of speedtest results for others, so that's not good.

When I say low quality I mean average bandwdith, the same bandwidth a ton of these sites are on. I have other needs for high bandwidth hosting that I will use the server for at the same time. The reason for keeping the server online is website exposure.

That happens to me a lot, if I join a large Minecraft server, I usually end up timing out and my internet goes off.

Remember the good old days when you use to have to update certain programs and the download time use to say it would take a year and x amount of days to complete the download? Omg!
