    I just upgraded my broadband from 40/2 mb to this and I'm surprised netspeed actually is what they promised.

    I just switched service providers and wow what a difference. This one is with the recommended server which is further away but it is based on Ping speed.

    and if I go with a closer server it is even different.

    A bit of an improvement, now on the basic FTTH plan... the download speed is nothing to write home about, but I've got you all beat in upload. :D

    Woo Hoo. Comcast just bumped my speed. I'm an A.

    As an aside, BTA, you really should allow DMC to come over to download stuff. We are a community after all.

    No, we are just a CPA firm. There are probably 100 people in the office. I don't know how it works, but if that is a shared speed, I shudder to think of what I could get if I was the only one in the suite.
