Re: great,,,looks great
well, in niagara falls those speeds are correct as you are on the former adelphia (and future buffalo.res.rr.com) network.
i am on the rochester.rr.com network (the far west end covers Royalton and Hartland). the RATED speed on standard is 10000 down/384 up. Premium is 15000 down/1000 up here. if you search all the speed tests done in zip codes beginning "14xxx" on this site, you will see the rochester.rr.com and twcny.rr.com networks are rated this way.
since i am achieving 14522 down/972 up (check my last 3 speedtests) - the proof is right on BBR.
you are right - no one guarantees speed. what Time Warner states to customers is they should expect to see AT LEAST 50-75% of their rated line speed at all times. i happen to be seeing 97% of my lines rated speed (every ISP has a "theoretical maximum" line speed).
BTW - per the email below standard is 5 down/premium is 8 down in the Buffalo area (including Niagara Falls).

Re: Migrated from Adelphia, no speed?
FYI
Here is an email response from Roardrunner tech support regarding speeds:
The speed of your Internet connection depends on the package to which you subscribe. As a general guideline, you can expect to consistently achieve between 50 and 75 percent of the theoretical limit. This is largely due to the protocol overhead inherent in the transmission of
data. Variations in network traffic also affect the available bandwidth.
For a 5 Megabit connection, the average download speed ranges from 2560Kbits/sec or 320 KBytes/sec to 3840 Kbits/sec or 480 KBytes/sec and the upload speed is 300 Kbits/sec or 37.5 KBytes/sec. The theoretical maximum download speed is 5120 Kbits/sec or 640 KBytes/sec.
For the Premium 8 Megabit connection, the average download speed ranges from 4092 Kbits/sec or 512 KBytes/sec to 6144 Kbits/sec or 768 KBytes/sec and the upload speed is 512 Kbits/sec or 64 KBytes/sec. The theoretical maximum download speed is 8192 Kbits/sec or 1024 KBytes/sec.
