CA3LE Posted February 24, 2004 CID Share Posted February 24, 2004 very nice I was scared for a little bit that my server was messin' up because my scores sucked... I am back to normal though... had to be a problem with the path my ISP was taking to my server because other people testing got normal scores... and I got normal scores elsewhere... scared the crap out of me, thought I might have to work ::: Download Stats ::: Connection is: 3902 Kbps about 3.9 Mbps (tested with 1496 KB) Download Speed is: 476 KB/sec Auth Code: 2058531 (validate a http://www.testmy.net) Bottom Line: 70 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 2.15 second(s) Validation Link :: https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/auth_check.cgi?ta=&top=&num=2058531&kbps=3902&gen=gen&a=13.7142857142857&b=0.571428571428571&c=1145.14285714286 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice Posted February 24, 2004 CID Share Posted February 24, 2004 RCN is who I have. They files for chapter 11 recently though, and if they get bought by anyone and I don't get these speeds anymore I am going back to dial up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted February 25, 2004 CID Share Posted February 25, 2004 that would suck! My guess is that he will move on to the COMCAST network. Just a guess. Comcast seems to be buying up the cable internet access like crazy just about every where on the east coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice Posted February 25, 2004 CID Share Posted February 25, 2004 Yeah, Comcast might buy it. They might not sell anything either though, so I'll see how it pans out. If it's Comcast, I am done. They suck so bad here, and they are slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 25, 2004 CID Share Posted February 25, 2004 yeah your are is having speed problems right now. However, you will recieve the 3000/256 for free! That is the speed bump they are giving everyone since the transition from the ATT system to theirs has been so painful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkieXL Posted February 25, 2004 Author CID Share Posted February 25, 2004 yes, hella website ca3le guy has...perfect for us speed freaks, & the speed test is the best around. Regarding RCN & chapter 11, they are just reorganizing & eliminating some debt...amazing how this huge co. is broke--with 1 million residential links tossing 50-100$ a month into the hat -JXL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
