I decided to test my internet speed today using my new 2010 15" Macbook Pro. I used speedtest.net to test the speed. What is the best site to test the speed with?

I tested my network using my dual band Time Capsulre 2009 500GB 5GHZ connection and the download speed was around 2.0mbs. Then I tested using my 2.4ghz connection and the download speed around 15.0mbps. I checked network utility and I was about 300mbit/s using the 5ghz and 144mbit/s using the 2.4ghz.

Shouldnt the 5ghz connection be faster? Im only about 15 feet from my Time Capsule.

What do you think could be causing this?
