Hi hottboiinnc, I ran 8x via speedtest.net to same city as you suggested...6 were from 20 to 29 and two were 16 & 18. The 16&18 were runs 3 & 5. You make a good point, though, as I've read other users state what you did. I'll be trying other test sites and see how it does morning Vs afternoon & evening. Thanks.
Try initiating a large download rather than just doing speedtests. For examples the files at lg.softlayer.com. After several seconds you should see your download speed settle to around 1.5 MB/s (12 Mbps).
Thanks for the suggestion. I went to the softlayer website and downloaded a 100MB file from Dallas. The speed fluctuated between 1.08MB-1.13MB per second. I don't know what that translates to in Mbps (I'll look it up). Just ran 3 speed tests to a Dallas server and results were 25-27Mbps. So far, I'm still a happy camper with Grande cable broadband. I don't miss the 768kbps DSL I had. I really enjoy the reasonably short time it takes to download movies from Hulu to watch on my tv. I just bought an LG DVD player which has wireless internet access. It connected to my router flawlessly. Bottom line, I'm still getting consistent speeds from Grande @ $25 per month. I'm happy. NOTE: Just noticed your note of "12Mbps" within your last post. Thanks...guess I'm okay then, as I'm paying for 12Mbps
