As I mentioned in another thread recently, I may be switching to DSL from RoadRunner Cable because it's cheaper and possibly, just as fast.
If you have DSL or Cable, and don't mind posting your results, please do so. Be sure to say whether you have DSL or Cable though.

I am a wee bit slower than you, but about the same. And I also have RR cable. I am curious to see others who have DSL. I am not so sure it will be as fast, I know it is suppost to be close, but who knows.

i would never have imagined it, but the results said the speed was too fast for an accurate result.
our network people have some explaining to do about why things appear to run so slowly around here!!

Comcast Cable - I didn't think it was going to be "awesome". It's better than dial-up, but Comcast stinks from cable television to cable communication for the internet. Something is always down.
