ComCrap, in the fastest version they have here. Just ran Speakeasy
and got:
13107 kbps down and 1694 kbps up.

I peruse some fairly loaded/complex financial sites, lots of newspaper sites,
photo imaging sites, etc. They almost all run lightning fast...
However, my fave board, X5World, runs from OK to slow, to snaggly, and molasses-like.
I'm not the only one here with a slow X5 board.

Back on topic, we never had a flicker, power-wise, here on the poor side of Naples, FL.
