The speed test at dslreports.com is showing my download speed as 625

do to to increase my download speed? I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 Live CD
until I can buy a new computer. Running 2.6.18 kernel and
Debian/Ubuntu.

Have you tried measuring your last-hop (or first-hop, depending on
your perspective) link using bing? Using a service like
dslreports.com means you'll be subject to any bottlenecks in the
network, including at dslreports.com.
