2nd link I got 2806 download and 232 upload

1st link I got 692 download and 224 upload


I'm guessing something is amiss here.

I had very close with both But The one I found is in the UK so that could make a difference with usage of the under sea cable at this time .

3910/574 from the second link.

The first link I don't think is all that valid because I have 5meg Cable internet, so I can see it playing just under 4, but not under 1.

8581/560

If you have cable you need to tweak your settings to get the best speed. Try here: http://www.dslreports.com/stest

After you are done with the test use the tools to tweak your settings.

You will be impressed.

I know, I was talking about the other link. But I stated the wrong one. I think the first one is not very accurate ( I think ) and the second one is better.

Is anyone on satellite service? I am considering it but at $50-$60 per month plus installation, plus telephone monthly charges, it seems very steep.

In my area we've been waiting, and waiting for better internet services for years and years and years.
