As some of you know, I have been contemplating what new ISP I should upgrade to from the sluggish DSL I use to have.

I decided on Time Warner Cable's "Turbo" Road Runner Package.

The specs are 15mbps down and 768kbps up.

As soon as I got it I took this speed test, and I pretty much got what I paid for.

He needed to feel special. Mine doesnt show the correct download speed ever, but I can do over 1500k per second down.

Here is my pretty one

First of all, crash, eagle62k1 and I are going to be buying an XDCC server sometime soon, so I probably won't be serving. Plus the fact that my upload still sucks...

Second, Aniviel, I wanted to feel special for the one moment I actually could.

Lastly, (but not least) VampYre, your upload absolutely kills mine. Also I think something is wrong with my wireless router, I can't get better then 120kb/s down right now from any site... it's really depressing with a "supposedly" 15mbps down...

Yeah. ISPs nowadays wanna curb bandwidth clogging, cos of torrent and other P2P programs. At least your ISP states clearly its limit, while mine just throttles and blocks traffic. :(

But we JUST BOUGHT them... so their going to welcome us by capping our bandwidth... any hopes of uploading videos to an XDCC bot are over.

Yeah, sadly. You may have to then actually do some calculation on your bandwidth if you want to upload files. :m00:

Or I switch back to DSL... it will probably be at least another year before we get capped up here, EVEN IF WE DO.

Woah.. I won't do that. Its like downgrading your speed when you are experiencing faster speeds.

I hate having limits, especially on my Internet.

I know, but no one said I wouldn't use that much personally... hopefully this will never come into effect.
