How does your internet speed compare?


So today Inhae's parents ordered an internet telephone for us to take to Boston. They got a pair of them, one for us and one for their home here in Korea. The calls between them are free, and any of Inhae's friends in Korea can call it and be charged as a local call. So as the guy was here installing it he put in a router with wireless internet. So I can finally use my laptop to surf the web. Just as a test I went to http://www.speedtest.net/ just to see what the speed was. Here is my screen shot. I would like to know how it compares. According to this article South Korea has fast internet--the fastest in the world. I didn't know it before, but using the internet at Inhae's parents house makes me realize that the internet in Korea is really really fast.

Later this afternoon, after we went shopping to get some necessities to take back to Boston, we met with one of Inhae's friends and her boyfriend. We had met them before when I came to Korea in January and this is the same friend who had translated for mom and Laramie. We went and hit some baseballs and then ate dinner at T.G.I. Fridays.
