Regardless, better upload speeds would be nice.

As soon as I get through I will be asking for a discount for those two days...
I am thinking of doing the same thing...i've been without the interweb for 3 days this week, and it just went down tonight before i went to work also.

Well your getting 3850k then if your dl at 385K.

Technically we're not supposed to get those speeds anyway, but it just depends on your neighorhood and such

thats not the right conversion jim...its 8bits to a byte so thats not correct...connection speeds are in bits and data is in bytes...

It was perfectly timed too. Lastnight we unplugged the cable and plugged it back in after i hooked up my new "server" computer we set up and thats when it went down so i thought that computer might be the problem, being as they have "3 device" limit and we have 6 connected so far so we disconnected that and had to fuck with all the cable wiring running through our house (at least 400+ feet).

edit: a couple years ago i had a lot of problems with them. id lose service for a half hour or an hour at least 3 or 4 times a week. then it never happened again until the other day.

I've had Qwest 1.5mbps DSL, I've had Monet Wireless, I've tried cable in other cities and places.

I get consistant 4.5mbps (450k per second) with Cableone. Is there a small amount of latency which slows down regular webpages? Yeah, it was better on DSL, but I don't think I could go back to downloading files at 150k per second, it just seems so damn slow.

In other cities, it's the same deal, the shits slower and generally costs the same or more.
