I've wanted broadband for over 7 years, but I live too far into the sticks. But slow internet is going to be a thing of the past once start living at Texas Tech. Can't wait!
Well, I ran a bunch of speed tests on my Comcast cable and they were all different (from 2kbps to 6.5kbps depending on which speed test I ran), but just for the sake of posting some results, here is an average one.

Im sorry to hear that, how long does it take you to upload a work unit at that speed? I mean, 6.5 kilobits per second, that comes out too .8 kilobytes per second, man, that is so fast that it is on fire....in 1962.
I can only imagine how long it takes to upload a workunit.:p

HAR De HAR! HAR!... You know what I meant, Mr. Smarty Britches. :tongue2:
By golly, if I could get you over my knee, I would tan your fanny! :hitit2:
Here's a new beta speedtest site for those of you that want to try a very easy speedtest. Pretty cool/easy speedtest.
Just pick the server you want to test to/from and your on your way. speedtest.net
Here is my cable connection, I tested on all the servers, but they were all pretty much the same speed, so I will just post a few, it looks like I am capped at 4 megabits.

I got a faster pipe to Amsterdam than London, and Amsterdam is further away from me.
Thank you for this thread. The other day I tried it, and was getting consistently about 3.5mb down/400K up...
This would be fine, except I am PAYING for 6d/1u... So I called my provider, and convinced them to send a technician out (which is always like pulling teeth)
He discovered that my cable modem was too old to support the higher speeds and replaced it. Now I am getting what I pay for

Remind me to download as much pr0n as I can and sabotage your cable line next time I'm there.
