    Can't you select a closer server (150mi)? you might get a better score.

    People with fast connections, how much do they cost and who general provides the fastest, local companies(Cavalier) or well known, brand name companies(Verizon)?

    Verizon provides FIOS (fiber), is the fastest, price varies, it depends if oyu take the bundle package (tv, phone and internet), I pay $110 for the bundle. I think Internet would be $50, I'm not sure.

    Have you tried to optimize your ISP access? Or you are getting what they sold to you.

    Yeah, it does. :p

    I got almost as fast connecting from my notebook while using my Sprint Mogul as a cellular modem (over Sprint's EVDO Rev A network):

    [​IMG]

    For this test I used WMWifiRouter to turn the Mogul into a wireless access point and then connected to it via wifi on the laptop. That's a pretty speedy mobile solution!

    I've seen that FIOS malarkey. They have to come in and rewire you computer and half your house. I'd rather not go through all of that.

    Besides, this connection I've had since.....2002 or 2003, I think, so this is probably what they sold to me. Still, how do I optimize ISP access?

    Also, there's an alarm system set up in the house. I hear that slows down the connection significantly.

    I don't know what yo are talking about, Verizon doesn't rewire everything in the house. The ONT (fiber terminal) is installed outside the house, and they just bring the cat5 cable inside where your router is, the rest remains the same. I forgot, they also install a UPS unit in case you are taking also the phone service, this normally is installed in the basement.

    Check in your ISP web site, they have an application to do that, I have even done it for my connection and it works at its maximum.

    20/5 here, but due to routing issues in Florida it never shows full speed on speed tests.

    That's impossible, you cannot get this kind of throughput on cable, is just technically not possible.

    I know very well where you live, but are you getting this at home or at a campus, home office, at work, etc. Who is your ISP? I would love to get their services too ;)

    I don't get it, Comcast here in Maryland doesn't offer nearly close to 8Mbps, how is possible that people are getting 22Mbps and other 60Mbps?

    NOOO why wasn't this topic posted before I left CWRU. I got 145k there one night.

    Anyways, back here in Florida on my humble Time Warner cable connection I get this:

    I wish I had that, I cannot believe that Comcast powerboost does that. Is powerboost making all packet traffic use UDP rather than TCP, how do they get greater throughput than fiber?
