Over the last few years I have seen our cable speed go up from 4 mbps to 20...and yet with few exceptions, it still seems like it's at 4. Some downloads take forever. Some downloads that I have done from the same servers are no faster now than they were then. What gives?
Is this just server traffic? If so where is the benefit of having more speed? It's like driving a Lamborghini on southern California..whats the point?

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
Need DSL get off the cable you are acually sharing that connection speed with others in the hood.... get DSL and get the signal to your house only....
That is not as big an issue as it was 5 years ago. Cable companies have upgraded their hardware enough to give a pretty good signal.
Downloading depends on who you are getting it from and how you are doing it. For instance, if you are downloading via peer to peer, you can have all the bandwidth in the world, but if you are getting it from just one seed and he has ratio set too low, it will take forever to download.
My cable has went up to 12-14mbps lately, and I can download a 700mb+ distro in under 15 minutes easily. It is a delicate balance between your bandwidth and the seeder.
I just got a new Netgear Rangemax WNDR3700 Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router.
Made a huge dif on my speed.

Get a stopwatch and a really good microscope, and count the bits as they go through the wire for one second. Oh. Wait. You said wireless. OK, get a really good video camera...

LOL! I did say wireless. But I pretty much just use the four ports in the back for wired connections.
