      First of all, don't use the Grand Forks test as its extremely slow(look at those ping times even, "Twin Cities" is about half that)...and how many of you are running applications in the background like AIM or MSN?

      At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                            Qwest is horrible.

                            I tried them once.. A 7 MEG downstream and the best I think I ever got was like 1 and 1/2..... Poorly advertised.. Not to mention the latency(PING) was horrible too..

                            I was seeing 100+++ ms ping/latency. Totally horrible service to go through if your into any sort of online gaming. Not to mention I was on a trial and took the modem back before I was stuck on a contract & they than tried to charge me (even though I brought the stuff back to the Qwest kiosk in the mall, assuming it was all taken care of)

                            Cable one is easily >> Qwest...

                            To be honest, I have yet to come across anything better here locally than cable one, but there could be better options.. Just haven't come across it yet.

                            Downstream & Latency is good for Cable one.

                            I think I am 3-5 Meg down stream and getting to nearly 6 meg downstream connecting to a wireless modem on a laptop with programs running like MSN/etc.

                                  I installed an OC3 at GoMoorhead in May. My laptop plugged directly into a router connected to an OC3 to Qwest. 155mbit/second down..

                                    You are lucky, when I tried qwest, 702 and ideaone, the fastest I ever got was about what Jason posted up....absolutely gay. Then I went back to cableone and haven't looked back.

                                        I know exactly why your at that now...if you read your ISP's fine print you have a cap of what you can upload and download in a 24 hr period. If you go over, they throttle your speed down. Ie. have a 3mb speed, go over, they will throttle you to 1mb for the rest of the day. So if you wanna download a shit ton, do it at night so you won't be throttled for the rest of the day.

                                          No probs where I live. My only issue is my POS router having to be reset all the fuckin time. Anybody have any ideas why that is?
