I'm also checking my modem status (SB6183) and I still have 4 downstream and 4 upstream channels. Not the 16 down and 4 up associated with faster speeds.

results, please try to connect to somewhere further than a single hop from their backbone.

Interestingly, there is some suspicion from tests ran by users on Slashdot that packets
transferred between speedtest sites (or even directories renamed "speedtest") are
receiving priority routing.

Here's a couple of links to HTML5 based speedtests.

SpeedOf.Me, HTML5 Speed Test | Non Flash/Java Broadband Speed Test

Speed Test - HTML5 Internet Speed Test
I get the same results from the speedtest on DSL Reports as I do from the HTML5 speedtest. I get the same results from Speedtest.net as well.

Internet went down at 1:25 am. Came back up at 1:50 am. I now have 16 channels down and 4 channels up. No increase in speed as of yet. (fingers crossed).

That hasn't been my experience at all. It may happen, but I haven't seen it here.
I'm getting the same speeds with all three of the speed tests, so if they're prioritizing the packets, they're doing it with all the servers the various speed tests are using.

I should have clarified. I didn't mean to imply that those sites gave different results because they
weren't Flash based, I just threw them out there because they don't require the overhead of Flash.
My main hope was that people would stop posting results out of Austin/Dallas.

Time Warner is inconsistent, sometimes greatly so, across the US. Outside of the US the speed
can drop significantly. This is the case with all providers, but some connections are consistently
slow and have been repeatable as long as I have been testing them. Not sure what is going on,
just that I've not seen that using AT&T's business solution fiber.

What some people noticed over on Slashdot was that FTP transfers from their servers were slow,
but when they renamed a directory to "speedtest", all of a sudden transfer speeds increased greatly.
I've been curious, but so far haven't tried it. I'm way overdue in creating a backup beyond databases,
so next time I'm going to give it a shot.

Just called TW about the speed and they're reporting problems in my area...could be the reason for the lack of the upgraded speed.

I have had outages in my area as well but not sure what it is about. My side of town is not due for the "scheduled" upgrade for about another week and a half. For about 3 weeks now, with my new modem, I have had 16/4 bonding channels. So hopefully they fix their mess and continue to push forward quickly.
