I can't say for sure but of late the 50 meg. download has some issues. Each time you use Speedtest.net indeed you are getting the 50 but when you go to a site you sit there and wait and wait, then it loads. I don't know if Insight is having to choke it down to accommodate some sites or if there is some other issue, I will call Monday but it is ridiculous the latency, even with email. Now the Google Finance site loads in an instant, I just loaded the Lexus site and it was instant, Ford was instant, GM instant, Progressive instant, Geico instant, Amazon waited for many seconds, Canon a small delay, Dodge a slight delay. Some of these are there as soon as you let off the key, others have a slight hesitancy and some take forever.
I guess what I am discovering tonight is it depends on where you go. Walgreens instant, CVC a very slight delay, John Deere a slight pause. So, I guess there is really nothing wrong but it gets ridiculous how many times you have to wait and wait and wait, such as Yahoo's Financial site. CNBC was just now instant, Bloomberg instant. Sorry to ramble on but I am testing this and at least letting you know that sometimes you may find considerable delay. My son was here tonight using one of the computers and he finally gave up and went home due to the spinning ball with so many sites. I guess when we have our service providers upgrade to the new Cisco Router then our download speeds will equal whatever we buy from our provider. Cisco has announced a new router, CRS-3 which has the capability to transfer huge amount of data at huge speeds of 322 terabits per second; equivalent to the ability to download 4 Billion MP3 files in about a minute or download every movie ever made in just 4 minutes or to allow the entire population of China to make video calls at the same time. Such a super fast router is definitely not meant for home use, it’s over a million times faster than your cable modem at home. It’s meant to be used by Internet service or network providers such as AT&T. John
