6968668kb/s = 6805.34mb/s

Which translates to 850.6675 Megabytes per second.

That's got to be some sort of SONET connection.

Or they're sitting in the same DC as the Speedtest server. There's no way in hell you're going to hit that size TCP window going through internet lines using the file sizes Speedtest does. They're sitting in the same facility.

Oooh, never considered that possibility.

So, I just ran a tracert to www.speedtest.net

I'm in Austin, and it went to Dallas on LEVEL3.net, then to Denver, and finally Seattle before it stopped responding.
