New to broadband at home; questions re traceroute and ping results.

[lopinhan]

Just recently got highspeed wireless installed and overall pretty pleased. With DRTCP recommended tweak, I was apparently able to increase my download speeds somewhat. 

Here are traceroute results to my host:

1 3.67-19-36.reverse.theplanet.com (67.19.36.3) 0.472 ms 0.392 ms 0.649 ms

From what I can tell with whois, the rest are all TimeWarner?

Installer mentioned his company is leasing lines from TW.

Good results?

Based on Traceroute results is greatest delay happening in TW's system?

Thanks!

Yea, your pings look good on your end  . What results are you getting on the speed test and whats your advertised speed?

What results are you getting on the speed test and whats your advertised speed?

Bursts up to 11mbps.  I've been getting varied results, but generally around 1.8-2.4 Mbps down now.  Here are some test results with speakeasy first then testmy.  Uploads are doing pretty well too.  This system is run on prioritization and I'm on lowest (residential).  Business accounts get higher priority, but are on basically 8a-5p Mon-Fri.  Still the results I've seen so far look good.

Several tests run from Seattle speakeasy.net:
