ok that helps but is their a way i can improve it??

Well then help me understand here, my upload stats say my connection is 372 kbps and speed is 45 kb/s. Why dont I get 372 speeds when im running a server and my friend tells me my speed is in the 45 range whats the difference in the two?

:::.. Upload Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 372 Kbps about 0.4 Mbps (tested with 579 kB)

Upload Speed is:: 45 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (main)

Bottom Line:: 7X faster than 56K 1MB upload in 22.76 sec

Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 30.53 % faster than the average for host (rr.com)

I agree they advertise 8mb down and 1mb up afor 54 bucks upgrade but thats cause they dont guarantee the upstream so of course i upgraded and no change at all i still have 50 kbps up to. blowsssssssssss

Hey am I the only one with horrible upstream speeds from road runner. I have upgraded and all that and they say they don't "guarantee" upstream speeds. I only get 50kbps. Am i the only one.

Hey yall I have absolutely horrible upstream speeds of only 600Kbps and 2Mbps down and im using roadrunner and they say they dont "Guarantee" upstream speeds so I was wondering if there is a way I can get past this. I have been reading the posts and I keep seeing referances to "tweaking" and Ill read on it more but can I do whatever that is and improve my upstream data? Thanks for yalls help.

Hey im new to this but im trying to spread this around but roadrunner is confusing!  They have fair download speeds but there upload speeds are not "guaranteed" i was told by tech support. So they advertise 2 Mbps down and 350k up for 40 bucks giving u one meg down and 50kpps upI tested other computers that use roadrunner and the same thing happed. BUT i have gone down to my friends house down in river oaks, the nicest part of houston tc, and they get what roadrunner advertises. So I hope sbc gets there hands on this so it will force them to "guarantee" upstream but for now, If you plan on running a server or nething on your network or pc, use dsl i guess, Even upgrading doesnt help. So its not your pc its you it. Hope this helps in a way. If any of yall live in texas and get the speeds that they advertise me email me at <snip>
