Go here and select one of the games (1 min, 2 min, 5 min, or 30 sec), and in the high scores list on the right you'll see a bunch of scores, a very large percentage of which are speedcubers. That's probably a better source of information than this thread will be. 
(If you want to know about me, you can select the 5 minute list and look at the top 100 - I'm towards the bottom. I'm not good enough to get anywhere near any of the other lists.

I average about 90, but I can go up to 120 in short bursts.

95-100 wpm.
usually about 95 wpm
But I'm learning to type on Dvorak simplified keyboard, I only started last week and I'm only about 25 wpm on that, ha ha. But my eventual plan is to switch to Dvorak, even though it's slower at the moment it's much more comfortable.

Personally, I cannot see any reason why there would be a direct link between typing speed and speedcubing. However, I supsect there would be an indirect link, as the sort of people that would be attracted to cubing are also likely to be the sort of people that spend more time than average on a computer (as in, smarter people). A lot of people might not like my suggesting this, but go and prove me wrong. Also, I am aware of the more recent burst in morons that speedcube.
I myself type at anywhere between 80 and 130 WPM (on a super serious roll). My best time on the two minute hi-games test is 99 WPM.

Whoo! I'm learning Dvorak too! Although I'm only 17 wpm.
I was hoping to be able to still type fluently with QWERTY but I am not so good any more.
Yeah, I am trying to make an effort to type on only Dvorak right now, I'm improving slowly. It was grueling to get started, I can say that. But yeah, QWERTY is okay still but I tend to make more mistakes because I am getting used to the Dvorak layout. But I can still touch type on QWERTY at about 85 wpm, which is still fairly fast.

About 50-70 WPM, depending on my mood at the time.

Yes, but that is also because a lot of cubers use that site, compared to others. I don't find that the best test, because I'm a slow touch typer.
If someone is reading, I can type what they read much faster than typing something I'm looking at.

I can type mid 50s to mid 60s depending on my mood and what I'm actually typing about.

I don't think it's just computer time, but it definitely is a component. A lot of us probably solve computer cubes, which takes a considerable amount of accurate, fast, key strokes. And if we're on the forums, we are also doing a considerable amount of typing.
For the record, I'm at 55-60 wpm, but very inaccurate-which is why I have a large amount of botched solves of jflysim.

Yeah a lot of speedcubers do use that site. I think a much better source is something more widely used and has more variety of people.
Did you guys completely neglect to read in the original post that he was looking to see if cubers are also fast typers?
ZB: Which test would you recommend?

I type at around 60 wpm with QWERTY, and ~40 wpm with Dvorak. Rapidly getting better with the latter, though.
