You can try downloading a variety of data of size 1MB, 5MB, 10MB, 50MB and 100MB from that test page. They are all zip files just for speed test purpose. From the download speed you will be able to justify my claim on Lunarpages. Be rest assured that the files are clean and virus/trojan free (I have done it personally).
For the purpose of comparisons, I am using a 512MB broadband internet connection and I’m from Asia. I downloaded the files during day time (suppose to be the peak time of internet traffic in my area). And the time I needed to get the 1MB file is 50seconds which is roughly 22 kB/second. The number is not very impressive though but seeing the peak period, my location and speed of connection I am using, I think the speed is awesome.
