[Speed] What should I be getting on performance tier in CT?

When I do speedtest.net I test at 25Mb down and 3.4 Mb up, I am on the performance tier. Did they accidentally provision me at a higher tier? I can't afford the Blast package, and I am happy with what I have (for sure!). My only concern is it the triple play package isn't cheap, and I worry about how much it will be after a year's time.

You are getting performance tier numbers...pretty much the same as mine (also in CT).

Thanks Pete. At the old place where I rented a room, roommate got, for the same price I am paying, from OOL, 50 down and 8 up. But still, I am happy, it is better than ATT down in TN, that was only about 6 Mb down and 340 Kb up IIRC.

I'm not too happy about the 300 MB cap, but at least they increased it from 250. Personally, I think performance tier should be about 400, and boost 550. I don't file trade these days, but I do get nervous about having a cap.

Performance tier in CT also . This is mainly powerboost, it should be 16/2 without it. Paying $19.99(1st year, 34.99 2nd)per month plus the modem rental + taxes. I want to get rid of the rental fee soon :P.
