[Cable] Question

Im on Roadrunner Lite 768 Kbps Down 128 Kbps up and when i do a speedtest on speakeasy.net i get this result....Im not understanding why its that fast not complaining but wondering why it only does it when i select the chicago server on the others its around 730 kbps like it usually is.. so whats up with that?

Download Speed: 985 kbps (123.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 115 kbps (14.4 KB/sec transfer rate

Re: [Cable] Question

we have boost avalible in this area but only if you have standard 5 meg and add it to that plan for 10 bucks extra. unless their adding it to the lower plans now somethings up with that. A Friend has the 5 meg and the upload rate went from 384 kbps to 768 kbps so maybe their fixing to up the speed not sure.

Rerun the Tweak Test

Also, test here »ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/test512

Note your transfer rate after about 30 seconds. Then cancel the download.

Post the URL for the New Tweak Test. For the TWO Speakeasy Tests, Copy and Paste the speed results from those tests and note the speed from the FTP download test.
