    I love my motorola, I'm on Adelphia and get kickass speeds and hardly ever drop connection.

    Which Motorola was it?

    Your download speed : 2504693 bps, or 2504 kbps.
    A 305.7 KB/sec transfer rate.
    Your upload speed : 235321 bps, or 235 kbps.
    Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

    Gonna have to chat with Comcast. I'm paying for 3.5 Mbps down and 384 up. This was the best result I saw.

    Just remember that cable is shared bandwith (like being on a hub versus a switch). So if your neighbor was downloading the redhat 9 iso's while you took the speed test it could effect the results. Plus IP in general will have some overhead. Cheers.

    Charter is indeed giving away 2MB down. "In appreciation" for the patronage.
