I ran all 4 speed tests.
Two on the .gov site.
Speakeasy which used one of the same testing providers the .gov site  
did.
And Speed net that used a server in Ft Worth.

Average speed was 3 mbps download and 0.5 mbps upload.

In case you were wondering why the .gov site wanted your address...

"The FCC requires the street address from where you are connecting
to the internet because it may use this data to analyze broadband  
quality
and availability on a geographic basis. For more information see our
About the FCC Consumer Broadband Test
<http://www.broadband.gov/qualitytest/about/> page."
