But I have seen people on here with much faster connection for the same cost that I pay which is around $55. When I get back to Houston I'll have to test the speed of mycable modem there. We have AOL at home and I'm in Pine Bluff, Arkansas so I can somwhat see why.

So does anyone know bout how fast AOL goes?

:) I think what we are all saying is if you can do it the only way to surf is broadband and alot of us use our cable TV company's,mine is cox~hsi which happens to be the co. that ca3le guy works fo....So he is the guy with the real scoop on broadband. I pay $39.95per month which is about twice the amount as most dial up....but there is no comparison to the speeds 56K v 488K which is faster than I pay for.....I pay for 3000/256....wow more than 71 times faster than the BEST dial up....pretty cool huh!!

man, all of you are getting ripped :wink:

I pay $38 dollars a month for Adelphia Powerlink Cable internet. (I already am paying for cable TV, so since I am buying both, I get a good deal)

these speeds are faster than anything I have ever seen on anything, (that isn't T1 or above) I have full bragging rights :lol:

sorry, I'm behind a constant firewall,

Hey Frugle, hows it going. I pay $40 cdn and have posted speeds that are not to far behind yours, so iam getting a pretty good deal.

Your speeds are really fast, but there have been faster posted here. So you don't have exclusive bragging rites :lol:

What firewall are you behind, let us know, CA3LE might no a way to test with it so we can confirm it is a real test.

Original Question: "Does my ISP suck or is it just me?"

Krankbt,

I think you may be confused about the link speed. Your advertised speed is NOT the download speed as one might think. We (you & I) measure download speed in KiloBYTES (KB). The advertised speed is in KiloBITS (Kb).

Your ISP said 512 max download and your test showed 534 (faster than advertised!)

Translation: 534Kbps download would actually be 65KB 8)

T1 is 1.5mbs (1500kbs) up and down... at the same time... you are faster in the download catigory but can you upload at 1500kbs?? didnt think so.. lol nice speed!
