Anybody else have uber fast internet all of the sudden?
 

I thought it seemed faster. Anyone else with Ch@rter in the same boat? I used this test. It's usually only 10 down 1 up.

They must have done work near you or something. Or a massive number of people near you switched to DSL.

Ummm,yeah. WOW!!

All of the sudden! :P

Mine's almost that fast now too.

We have Ch@rter Business at work and we're only getting the normal 10 down 1.5 up.

I'm sure they will find the mistake, fix it, and charge us accordingly.

Cody, expect your bill to be twice as much now. And expect them to tell you "we're sorry we only offer the new superhighspeed service at this new price now, we can't give you your old plan any longer. We don't care if you don't want or need so much throughput since we desperately need an excuse to raise your rates".

My Charter is still 8k and 1k.

That would suck. It's still 20 down, 2 up.

Me too, Normally 10~14 down.

Same here. 19k down, 1k up. I am sure we;re not paying for more than the 5 or 8 meg service. Yet. :unamused:

Could it be that you're getting more bandwidth due to numbers of other Charter users who weren't on at that time, due to lost power?

Seems unlikely. There aren't that many people without power today I don't think. We haven't had any outages around here anyway, AFAIK.

my SBC is still solid, lol:

Last Result:

Why are they so different? or is my KB/MB translation wrong.




edit: I had a torrent open while doing the speed test

Interesting

It seems to vary a bit. Still fast though.

Cody's test gave me 21768kbps down/ 2080kbps, 50ms ping

Hrm... it is fast. Not sure what I'd use that for... except streaming netflix I guess.

You said it!!

Well, as long as the movie isn't skipping, it's not like having more bandwidth is going to let me watch the movie faster.

I could really care less about "speed test" results. Cody, what download speed are you getting with your torrent program?
