Same as it ever was... bandwidth running over cable. Same as it ever was...
2005-01-19 20:55:07 EST: down 2640kb / up 349kb As part of my work (with VoIP phones) I take regular bandwidth measurements at various sites that use RoadRunner - mainly my home connection and several Triangle Businesses. RoadRunner over all does a very good job with maintaining consistent network access, but I haven't seen any recent increases in either Upload or Download speeds. If it's true - I look forward to seeing even happier Soho customers in the future! <as long as they keep those latencies low and steady...> Jon Carnes http://www.featuretel.com On Wed, 2005-01-19 at 18:10, matusiak wrote: > Hello all -- > > This may be old news to some, but it certainly came as a surprise to > me.
