$40/month for 100 :eek: wow! That's $200/ month where I live.
Which brings up the point of cost per mbps.
Anyone can crush this - here in Chicago I pay $45 a month and get 24mbps.
So about 50 cents for mbps.
Others?

I set up my own speedtest server (free) over the 10Gig line but then realized that I don't have flash on those machines.
tomorrow I will sort out a proper post - i'm 120/30 to open internet but T1 P2P to one broker & 100meg Ethernet to the colo.
I can also fake it & post up a 10G number if speedtest goes that high.
From a while ago... this is the backup to the backup - the home line...
the real stuff is ethernet via bonded copper & 100/100
I forgot one - we have two optimum lines in the house... the 20meg one is for the wifi while the 100 meg one is 2nd backup & iTunes/Netflix line...
I guess in the house we have a total of 135 down & 17 up from optimum....
Do you guys get 30 megs upload sustained with the VZN lines?? Thats awesome if you get 35/35 or even 50/50 or 50/35 upload is key... I pay 1200/month for upload...
Winston, are you doing the same kind of stuff, such as how you set up your house for others as part of your New business?
Btw, I screwed up my above post believing I was paying for 60. I'm paying for 50. None the less, it's still only running an average 18 down and 2 up. Sometimes it runs up to 35-38 down, and still 2 up, or it runs 5 down and no reading on upload. And after six visits here by the "technicians" there is zero change. The last problem is they're the only game in town offering above 20. They show me some dumb ass hand held meter showing high readings while speedtest tells the truth, and the computer obviously runs slow(er) right before these genius's eyes. Very frustrating trying to find a fix for this!
I am getting 25mbs download, and .98 mbs upload. I'm going to call Time Warner about upload. Is there anything I can do on my own to improve upload? It is the same on my old WinXP P-4, as my new Dell with Win 7 Pro, I7, and self built I7, Win7 Pro, all with different network cards obviously. Using a fairly old Linksys WRT54g.

Probably you don't have it on the XP, so do this first:

How r u diong? I just got walloped & was on the losing end of a motorcycle vs. car accident so i know how you feel being laid up all day... for me typing one-handed is torture...
I'm open & honest. I set everyone up the same as me - except that I've now got 28 clients (or at least 28 guys who pay me on a semi regular basis) so my internet is above & beyond. Outside that there is no rocket science in the whole hardware game.
ding! ding! ding!
I would gladly take a 25/25 line or even a 10/10 vs the crappy 50 down vs 2.0 up they sell.
A trader needs 2.0 mb/sec on his/her line - if you have a home office you need 5.0mb/sec once the kids get home from school...
So, if they have a good month you get a check... otherwise, it's "I'll catch you next month (maybe, of course)"?
