It's about what I'd expect. Not that it really matters that much. Most web sites you go to aren't going to deliver that much. Maybe you can get that doing peer to peer or in a game. I think that anything over a few thousand kbps is going to be unused most of the time.

Slow, last I tested it was 3.5 mb/s down and 1.5 mb/s up. It really isn't that, and Bell still hasn't fixed it.

Right now I have a 10 down & 2 up cable connection from Charter.

Next week I will have 1.5 down & .768 up DSL connection from Frontier.

I'm tired of paying $75/month for bandwidth I never actually use. The DSL connection with an IP phone is only $30/month.

My 6/1.5 from Comcast is testing at: 10.3/2.6 (b/c of powerboost stuff), but 15 minutes ago, it was testing at 3/2.5 with a ping 3 times higher than it is reading now.

Do you run the Comcast megapack? How's that treating you?
