nice surprise from my cable company

I was previousuly on a 4meg down and 512 meg up COX conection.

Was hearing rumors they were upgrading in the VA area. Here is the new speed from today.

2005-06-21 07:14:29 EST: 5960 / 1681
Your download speed : 6103091 bps, or 5960 kbps.
A 745 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 1721664 bps, or 1681 kbps.

Love the new upload speed

I'd second those findings, Mick. I was gonna go with DSL, but Verizon STILL hasn't offered it over here in Kingstowne. Went with Cox late last year, been happy ever since!

Nice, I also have Cox, and mine is still 4064 down and 508 up. They obviously have not upgraded here yet. Still no complaints here though

Cable's catchin up to my SBC DSL line. I've had 6 MB down / 1.5 MB up for the past year and a half. ADSL2 or VDSL should have speeds boosted to 25 to 30 MB next year

Once Verizon FIOS gets installed, internet connection speeds won't be an issue any longer.

They are wiring up the fiber optic lines all around town--I hope the service is available by the end of the summer around here! My Cablevision service is great (and fast), but as a Ranger Fan I have to hate the Dolans!
