It would be quite rare to have a cable internet connection faster than about 6 Mbps.  What does your ISP advertise? Steve

I have Mediacom at three locations and have never exceeded 4650 (5000 claimed) with the basic service, but Mediacom does offer business service for about twice the price at up to 10,000 as I recall.  12,000 would be quite a connection.  Here are the two speed test sites I use: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ http://testmy.net/

Will I guess I am doing ok speed test showed 4661kbps download and 243kbps upload. The only reason  that I wanted to know was that the pages were opening slow. Thanks  Jerry
