OT: Download Speed

Thanks for the reply Sorin. I would say most of the time
I'm getting at
least half and sometimes a tad higher than half (I did hit
6MBPS once).
I'm still going to call and see what's up with this. I
have heard from
others who has Road Runner service, that they are almost
always close to
the speed that they are paying for. We'll see! Once again
thanks!

FWIW, the consumer organisation in Sweden has ruled that if
you pay for a
8Mbps service but only get half, you should have a rebate on
your monthly fee
relative to the lower speed. Ie you should only pay for what
you actually get.
I don't see why this would be any different in the US. Go
get them!
