Need help with download test. Some people are telling me that one is faster than the other.

(from network A)
http://www.zvue.com/t2/content/zcards.wmv


(from network B)
http://tope.findpage.com/zvue/zcards.wmv

Which do you think is faster?

Network A is faster for me by about 20KB/s

I'm on cable...

B is quicker... but this isnt a good measure of speed. if both networks use BGP4, you will get different results from different people.

i am on a 3.6Mbit wireless.

B seems faster. From Malaysia.

My server on NAC also shows B faster.
