So, those are my results. But, when downloading from Giganews, I still get the same old 1.2MB/s that I always have after the initial speed burst.

Have the only upgraded the speed burst, but not the sustained transfer rate?

If so, that is pretty cheap ... they'll advertise these great speeds but neglect to tell people you only get them for 20 seconds or so.
