Try again. Its not cached. Same result from Windows XP and Vista. They really ARE testing these speeds. They have plans to hit 100Mbps by January of 2008 and this is phase one of that transition. They have to have SOMETHING to answer Qwest and Verizon with, you know. If it was powerboosting, the "boost" drops off after 45 seconds of a download. The first image shows a download near completion that is still at those speeds.

Lame. But imagine how nice 3MB/sec is! I downloaded a 2GB download in about 10 minutes. Rockin. I never imagined Comcast could hit these speeds but from the team meeting we had awhile back, they can hit 30Mbps on what bandwidth is currently allocated to HSI. They are quadrupling that some time next year or early 2008. They're expecting to be able to hit 100Mbps per subscriber.

22,124 here. That's definitely the most bloated explorer I've ever heard of.

The 866 isn't much better

Its better without caps.

hahaha Thanks for the warning, Tommie. I gotta give a warning back though... I tend to bite all vampire style.
