Re: UPDATE: RI Speed increases?
Now this is a nice connection.... It would have been nice if they gave us 5 MBit up but I will settle with this.

Re: [RI] RI Speed increases?
said by mikey2007  :I wonder if they are planning to do anything with their CT markets? If FiOS is available there, then you will probably see something, while the rest of us sit around and wonder if we will ever see those speeds.  :D

I really did not take notice of the speeds until I received one of the computer phone calls from cox. GREAT! The up-load increase sure helps me out,
Thank You COX!

| I appear to be getting speeds this morning of 6-7m down, 1-2 up. For point of comparison, over the last 2 years I have been using the same speed tests, from the same Chicago server. So, this seems to be real.
Anyone else seeing this speed increase? |
