i get their 3M/512 service

its usually consistently close enough to that. they offer up to 6 down here. i used it for a while, it was good, but 3 down is sufficient for me so i downgraded.

its been surprisingly reliable.

The reason I'm so fast is that I have a commercial account with Donobi, and Grant County Zipp is what Microsoft, Yahoo, and Intuit are using :)

There is alot of dark fiber to the seattle backbone :)

Comcast Cable: 15.7 down, 1.4 up. Not bad at all.

I've gotten about 25 or so before on the same speed test, but it really varies by usage since I'm in a large apt bldg. Average is right around 15/1.5.

Is a better broadband test site.

i don't know...that site always gives me really high ping times. i have regular DSL and to a server about 100km away from me, the ping shouldn't be 529.

anyway, my speed is exactly what my plan is: 2000kbps down, 200Kbps up.

Thats funny, I have Comcast. I get 8megabit on the synthetic tests.

Also, on a real test, (actually downloading data which, interestingly enough, is why I have internet) I can get 3 mega BYTES per second with Download Accelerator Plus 5.2.

I recently moved to south florida into an apartment that is nice, only problem is they do not use comcast. i guess they have an exclusive deal with direcpath owned by direct tv or something so i'm limted to there cable tv which has no hd service forcing me to get real direct tv from my own dish and also there cable i-net is terrible.

here is my current speed test
