Yeah, but did you name it?

How much you paying? Comcast told me they'd upgrade to 6MB ages ago, I'm still waiting. Paying $23/month for 3MB/256KB.

Consider yourself lucky. We pay $45 for the same speeds from Comcast in Chicago.

I live in central California and have Comcast. Rated at 3M down and 256k up, I got 2979 down and 241 up with that test. At least it's sort of in line with the advertised speed...

I have Optimum Online. It's almost 10Mbps Down and almost 1Mbps Up. Only $45.00 per month if you have cable and $50.00 if you don't. I rarely get any down time. I am in Yonkers, NY, btw.

Eh. 575KB/s is only 15% more than you paid for. Nothing special.

No complaints here w/ Cox, either, though, and the limit seems to be more per connection than total...My dad and I have both downloaded ISOs at the same time, gotten ~600KB/s each, and no problems.

Cox Cable in Va Beach, VA

I have a 4MB connection and I have seen a d/l rate of almost 600KB/sec once. Overall it's decent.

I'm a coxswain for another semester =P

Optonline here. Stamford, CT. Downloads peak around 800-900k/sec for the first 10-20 seconds and then stabilize around 500k/sec. This is around 9AM-ish, so I can't really give definitive statistics about peak hour speeds. Either way, >400k/sec downloads are pretty sweet, even if my upload maxes out around 130k/sec.

I've got Cox here in Rhode Island, I think its fantastic.

For a while, we had to revert back to 56k,,,,,,,, it made me terribly desperate for COX.. (this doesn't get old does it?)
