I thought it would be interesting to point out that Google Chrome is significantly faster in terms of DL speeds than IE or Firefox. IE was found to be significantly faster than its counterparts for uploading. Firefox was found to be significantly slower for uploading than its counterparts.

I have a study to back up my claim. It's an ANOVA study:

Browsers tested: (1) Google Chrome (2) Internet Explorer (3) Firefox
Metrics: (1) Download Speed (2) Upload Speed

If anyone cares I'll pull it out and post it on my website so people can see.
