When looking at Testmy's results for hotstats today, it shows Wildblue as 17, with Google at 21.
Virgin Media at 1, shows top speeds of 44 Mbps DL and 4 Mbps UL
AT&T U-Verse at 12, shows top speeds of 16 Mbps DL and 2 Mbps UL
Google at 21, shows top speeds of 10 Mbps DL and 3 Mbps UL
For Exede 5/12 users, a larger test size of 25 MB DL, and 3 MB UL is needed. As seen on this ViaSat Result page, those who used larger test sizes got better results, generally speaking.
It sure looks like Giga-Speed services are a myth...marketing Bull
Even Netflix's speed results show higher DL speeds in Europe, than in USA. When it comes to 4K TV at 25 mbps, only Comcast might be able to deliver in certain markets; DirecTV/DISH are using a recording device for playing later.
Yes, the landline ISPs have currently bigger CAPs than satellite ISPs, but if 4K-TV becomes more mainstream, watch how the CAPs change, with more revenue enhancement measures on ISPs' side.
