All is relative IMHO. I was sold 768down by Comcast as "Limited Internet." My stats are ~1150down ~350up and having used dial-up (~26down on a good day) for many years I am thrilled not only with the speed of it but also the fact it is faster than they claimed! Your numbers are like my sister's FIOS results in another state. Yet, she had horrible performance. It turns out, after a coupla hours on the fone with her after Verizon reset her FIOS modem for her and told her it was her computer at fault, she had lots of junk jamming up her cache and history areas ...deletion of all that and changes to her browser to delete all of it on close have done wonders for her win2k laptop! I am not geek enough to be of greater help2u, but surely others here will have some more details about how to see if it is your box or your pipe at fault!
My simplistic suggestion is because I am a simpleton. -----Original Message----- From: Paula Minor [mailto:raven...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 9:39 PM Subject: ? about download speeds I don't really understand how to interpret the speed I get on the speed test sites. This is what I got tonight on Speakeasy > Download Speed: 16523 kbps (2065.4 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: > 3077 kbps (384.6 KB/sec transfer rate) I'm on cable. Is this considered a "fast" download speed? I ask because actual downloads I've been doing tonight are incredibly SLOW.
