Not bad for being in the sticks; it is the fastest available.

Interesting I tested on 10/31 with 8500 and 12600 DL, today under 2400 DL ??

Justin, I have ComCr*P, and HAD severe dropouts, usually at weather changes. Like as the morning warm up occcured. They (over god knows how many visits) replaced connectors. Finally found the one at the pole was bad. Been near bullet proof since.

Rumor has it, that they are working on 100 down - don't know how soon they'll offer it.

Its probably where I live. I am pretty close to NY, I am sure the cables are up to date. Now I just need to buy a new computer to take full advantage. I'm thinking about going Mac!

I also remember online chatting with "redsonja" and "shadow", two girls at the universities online study and after finaly convincing them that I was not in fact sitting at a terminal in their lab all of us being blown away that this was possible.

This is funny...an old thread resurrected one day after I get the station's WAN upgraded from 16/2 to 50/5.

I've been using the "speakeasy" test for a few years now...gives you a "real world" feeling for what to expect...

D = 39.56 Mbs.
U = 03.98 Mbs.

Now, I'll test it later today once everyone gets out of the building...

This is on a "CharterBiz" copper-wire service.

10 dl, 14.4mbps upload on FiOS. I'm in the middle of streaming a webinar through a VPN though so a huge amount of bandwidth is taken up by that. Not sure what the resurrection post is on about...satellite is a completely different connection than any cable.

Well, it seems the best city for me to download porn from will be Dallas.

Washington, D.C. is the slowest, probably due to all the Senators and Congresspeople hogging all the good sites.
