Default Guess my internet up/down speeds.

Okay,

I'm in my new house, moved in a couple of hours ago.
The guy I'm living with has gone back to his rents for the night to sort out some more stuff there and the girl has a broken ankle so isn't moving in for a while.

I'm setting up the kitchen, and have tried to find an unsecured wireless network to leech. No luck there.

I'm still using my mac to post, but have connected to my K850i via bluetooth and am using that as a modem.


Guess my upload and download speeds, closest to the correct answer within 48 hours of this post wins.
what you win I have already decided, and it's not a joke gift or e-presents. it's actual stuff!


GO!

My guess is 1kbps higher/lower [delete as appropriate] as whoever else gets closest.

Ergo, I win.

PRIZE PLS.

Well, if you're getting good 3G then a max of 14.4Mb/s down and 5.8Mb/s up...

Although I doubt it'd be that high, especially as you're running over Bluetooth as well..

So I'm gonna guess at about 1Mb/s down and 200Kb/s up

(posted from an iPhone 3G... Actually! BRB!)

[edit]
Just ran speedtest and I got 996kbps down and 264kbps up...

How spot on was I!?

Prize now please!
