    My room mates and I ordered a 20 MB/sec line and never saw speeds that high. Highest speed was around 17.3 MB/sec and usually (as in 90% of the time) speeds were under 2 MB/sec. We would call to complain and the internet would be good for about an hour and then right back down the toilet.

    Speed test review from 5 minutes ago:

    Download Speed: 7864 kbps (983 KB/sec transfer rate)
    Upload Speed: 1025 kbps (128.1 KB/sec transfer rate)

    ^^ The above is NOT what the contract said I would receive. I'm paying for a 20 MB/sec download rate and a 3 MB/sec upload rate. Worst part is they want to charge a $150 cancellation fee. Scam.

    My advice is to stick with comcast, i had comcast last year in the same apartment and never had issues.

    Does it say "Up to" a certain speed?

    Also getting ripped off by getwireless.net

    I also did the speed test (»www.speakeasy.net/speedtest), which took a few minutes to load and got the following results..

    Last Result:
    Download Speed: 1168 kbps (146 KB/sec transfer rate)
    Upload Speed: 1687 kbps (210.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

    This is about dial-up speeds. Very unsatisfied with the service I'm getting from this company.

    "Does it say 'up to'"

    No, the contract implies that I should be -getting- fast speeds. Not supposed to have a hope of almost getting something slightly worse than dial-up.

    Internet didn't work at all yesterday and today speeds are even slower than usual.

    Actually, it does say 'up to' a certain speed. I have had the service for almost three years, and have never had a problem
