    My net connection has royally sucked recently; web-pages wouldn't load or would have to be requested 2 or 3 times (or more) and just a bunch of crap.

    The last 3 days or so I've noticed my connection getting faster. It still had some of the issues of needing to request pages multiple times, but once a download started it generally was pretty quick . . . sometimes over 300KBps. I thought this to be Firebird going nutty so I ignored it. Well, todays I downloaded something @ 397KBps and I figured it was time for a speed test.

    (Oh, btw . . . all the other issues seem to be gone too. Took RoadRunner 2 weeks to iron things out, but finally things are back to normal, except for my added bandwidth!)

    I'm showing similar speeds. It seems RR is in the process of upgrading all networks to 3Mbps/384kbs speeds. This includes all earthlink customers too.

    EL runs over RR's lines, so anybody who resells RR will also have the speed increase. I wish they would bump the upload speed to at least 512 though.

    I'm not even gonna bother. SBC had me on a 1500/128 connection for a week, and then it got so unstable they turned it down to 768/128, and for some reason they arbitrarily turned it down to 384 a few weeks ago. I called them up and threw a huge temper tantrum and made them turn it back up to 768, but it's still damn slow. I get 80k/s downloads, so it's running about 80kbit/s. Which is too damn slow. :mad:

    Not easily. The house was never wired for cable by the previous owner, which means that we would have to have them run it into the house from the street.

    Geeky: I just recently had the cable co run cable where the was none before. They had to run it from across the street. Took the guy about a 1.5 hours or so to run the cable and get everything setup. All I had to do was have the check ready for the setup fee. I didn't have to pay for the extra stuff like running the cable to a location that never had cable before or anything.

    $40 or $45 I think. I never pay attention because RR isn't the only thing on the cable bill.
