Faster Internet Service

Has your ISP changed lately? When we first got cable broadband it was about 5mbps. Then one day it dropped really low then shot up to 10.

Well that happened again recently and I just tested it at nearly 20mbps...same price

It could be because cable broadband works differently than other broadband services.

With cable broadband there is a certain amount of speed (bandwidth) available. If there are very few people in your area using the service then you get all the speed. If there are many people using the service then the speed is split up among the many. Cable broadband surfing speeds can fluctuate quite a bit.

Re: Faster Internet Service

I have no idea what speed I have. After several years with RoadRunner through Warner Cable I switched to Cincinnati Bell and have a zoomtown address. Both seem pretty much equal but zoomtown is cheaper. A young man at local Cincinnati Bell store told me I have the fastest speed available for my area (whatever that means).

I have a 20 mbit connection myself and you better believe that when it drops below 18, I am on that phone talking to their complaint department faster then a fly is on a piece of rotten meat.

Maybe?

Comcast is doubling the speed of two of its less expensive Internet plans, Performance and Performance Plus, for free. The two now have the capacity to reach up to 12 and 16 megabits per second.
