Internet Speed Test Meme

Category : General

This is a completely lame attempt to start a meme, more for my own curiosity than anything. If high speed internet access is considered a strong flattening affect, it would be interesting to see how fast yours is!

I challenge anyone and everyone to visit http://www.internetfrog.com/mypc/speedtest/

and take the test, then post the image of the results, like Wes did.

Your turn. If you participate, use the tag speedtest07

Meme fun!
