RoadRunner thru MediaOne running GI SURFboard SB3100 cable modem. I average 2500Kbps; 1200Kbps being lowest and occasional 8000Kbps(!?). Go to this web site to get a good speed estimate: http://msn.zdnet.com/partners/msn/bandwidth/speedtest.htm Oh, and I live in MASS.

I live in NY to and my avg speeds have been 3.5- 1.9 mips d/l and 285 kb up. I'm using RR also so. But I know that some people who are using Optimum Online talk about speeds of 5-8mips d/l and 1mip up. RR has a cap on thier servers with 1500 people setup for each node, but actually are using space for 600 because they don't have nowhere near the amount of people that can suck all the bandwith. I tried to get them to at least increase the upload to 1mip but not response so far. Other then that I really like the service..Just want more speed..I can't help myself...hehe
