Nothing like going from 4Mbps down/384Kbps up to the below for FREE on InsightBB

Your Download Speed = 10.23Mbps or 1.27MBytes/sec
Your Upload Speed = 966.83Kbps or 120.85KBytes/sec

Your download speed is...
187.42 times faster than dialup
6.82 times faster than DSL/T1
2.55 times faster than the old InsightBB speeds

Your computer may need to be tweaked for a broadband connection!
Read "Better tuning your Internet connection" on this page with links to fix this.

Click Start to re-test.

This is for BASIC. Plus users get 15Mbps down/ 1.5Mbps up. I know that many here already have speeds like this...but that's ok, it's my time to :D

:p

I wouldn't consider it free. I call it pressure from competition.

I used to get 10/1.5 at home, but I think that was the middle of the road service. Verizon FIOS was also in my area for $10 cheaper/month plus better upload. Here at school, I get 8/8.

We've got 5/512k for regular, 10/1 for extreme (what I'm on), and 25/1 for the nitro package... It's twice as much as extreme, and the upload isn't any better so it's kinda useless. I want FIOS :p

Our cable company increased the speed from the local competition from Comcast. Though they charged us more... and it wasn't an option to upgrade to this speed either.

Lawful, but damn, I need money for my mustang.

I just got FIOS yesterday - 15/2 package tests out at 15.5/1.9 and it costs me $10 less than the damn Comcrap that it replaced.
