Kihei, HI | I'd love to give feedback... but nothing yet available to me. I should check in with them again, though, to make sure!

Anyone have any updated info on when the new speed tiers will be available on other parts of the Big Island? I called today and they put me on a "request" list, but they have no idea when it will be available for me. |

The best Java speed test bandwidth I have attained to any mainland speed test site is just under 7 mbps down, 0.8 mbps up. Hawaiian Telcom's speed test just reported 10.3 mbps down, 1 mbps up.
So if you frequently have more than one simultaneous download in progress, the 11 mbps service might be worthwhile. But if single downloads are more common, then the 7 mbps service might be sufficient.
The service has been good until the past few days when I have experienced periods during which their POP server was down and when Internet bandwidth was lousy (a Java speed test to San Francisco just reported a whopping 1.4 mbps down :-( I don't know why Internet bandwidth is so lousy today. |

| I'm curious which speedtest site in SFO was giving such lousy results. Lately I've have had problems with Megapath.net.
I have a 7Mbps DSL service over the legacy ATM network. I can normally achieve 4-5Mbps to the west coast and 6Mbps to Honolulu. But for whatever reason the Megapath site is giving me lousy results. Some days I can only get 1.5Mbps. |
