I was surprised by the results, but my area has been having issues the past 2 days with inconsistent speeds. I'll try again once everything is straighened out.

TW and Comcast are sitting in a tree together. Seems like both of them, especially TW, think 512kbps or 768kbps is enough for home use. But at least this thread shows a hint of proof that Comcast is thinking about the future (download wise). Adelphia upgraded my area to Docsis 2.0 over a year ago (maybe even longer), and now... I'm stuck at 8/512. Ugh... at this point I'd rather pay $30/month for 3/384 DSL but I can't get it.
Good luck to those of you who get the faster speeds.
S7R1D3R: take a look at the Speed Chart on testmy.net ("Speed Chart" under Misc Tools at the very top). That chart goes up to OC256, which is almost 14Gbit/s...but right now I believe the fastest widely-used OC line is OC-768 (SBC/ATT is supposed to be upgrading their backbone to this over the summer and I think Microsoft has 1 or more). OC-768 is 40Gbit/s. Some companys are testing OC1536, which is 79.6Gbit/s..but the real kicker will be OC3072, which will be around 159.2Gbit/s I the info for the this at: http://www.biologydaily.com/biology/Broadband_Internet_access (scroll all the way to the bottom and look under "External Links").
Most Adelphia HSI customers on these forums would like the Extreme 16/2 service (me included) but the truth is it's just not bring deployed in many places. Last summer there were adding 1-2 cities per month but I haven't seen their Extreme page updated in at least 2 months...which could be because of the CC/TW deal.

Come on Adelphia! Will we ever see 8mbit like Comcast and Time Warner?
I can totally understand why you're mad because in truth, you're getting at best 70% of your advertised download speed....but hey, your connection is a lot faster than what's currently available in most other countries in the world. Be happy!
16/1 from Comcast, 10/1 (possibly) from Charter, Verizon FiOS, OOL Boost....
WTF, come on Adelphia! Many people wonder why Adelphia customers are anxious about this takeover with Comcast/Time Warner. It's because some of us want fast(er) speeds too (amoung other things)
That's good to hear - and your new test is very close to your 6mbit cap, so you have to be happy. Sucks you had to go through much, and lose files to achieve your desired results but at least now your system is clean and you can always rebuild on files.
