Just had the puter crash on me which was weird as this rarely happens despite Epona and I using it heavily

Rebooted and discovered that our Broadband speed had increased from 2.2 Mbps to 5.4Mbps


I just wondered who had the fastest or slowest speeds on tcs

I think you can use those and others


That would be your current speed but can change over the day.

Our ISP recently upped all their speeds, so we have 10mbs instead of the 6mps we were paying for

10 Mbps is a ridiculous speed, I'm still jealous though

Well when we firsy got it, we had a chose of 640 kbps, 4mps or 8mps so we went with the 4mps. Then when I got my vonage phone, and a couple of computers running at same time it would occasionally hang so we went up to the 8mps package. Then they put them up to 6 and 10 mps so we went back down tp the 6mps (as you never trully get the speed on 10 anyway) and then they increased it again. And I am only paying $3 more than 3 years ago when we first signed up with them (the faster one is now 16mps
)

Tried two sites:

#1 Download Speed: 19903 kbps (2487.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 1576 kbps (197 KB/sec transfer rate)

#2
1642.5 kbps

Don't know if that's good or not but it works for me

LoL For once I don't know. It's my mother's service and it was faster & cheaper than Earthlink so I dropped EL when we moved. I know she paid $5 for a faster speed which shocked me. She kept us in mind. Her pc is slower since we are running wireless upstairs.
