Congratulations! I can download airplanes from school at a very fast rate, but while at home I'm only running at 56K....SO I download files at the school and take them home at the end of the day

I suppose it is kind of abusing the system, but dagnabit I give them enough money!

I'm paying for 1.5 and getting 100.0 !

that's why I just might be quite Grin

I have a feeling they "choke" it down.. as the area gets busier.. or after they get your line "tweaked". We'll see.

Comcast will usually cap you at around 300mb dn and 128mb up. That's what I had until I moved into this apartment and now have a t1 line. I love it.

That is how fast your ethernet card is connected to the computer, but in reality, you might be getting 1.5%-2% that, I have the same thing that I thought that I was at 100mbps to(that would be comparable to t1)

Faor an accurate test, go here:http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

Simply fill out the required info, and run the test, very accurate, I have a 1MBPS subscription, and I am getting 1.4MBPS

I am somwhere I don't know where I am!!!&&
