Well, first, it really does matter on the test being used and how good that test is coded, one I find to be good is SpeakEasy's:

http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

Now going toward their nearest location, which can be found doing a traceroute to any place and checking your route, in my case that's Chicago is the closest and here are the results:

Download Speed: 6037 kbps (754.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 338 kbps (42.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

Now may also be a good time to note that it also has a lot to do with your computers settings, my ISP's advertised speeds are 6000 kbps down and 384 kbps up, though the modem is configured higher on the download stream to make up for the overhead.

I am extremely satisfied with my provider, comcast.
I get download speeds up to 6mb for a relative low price.
