We just switched to Road runner lightening to get their advertised 40mb per connection.
The guy came out and connected the new modem and ran a test. I was surprised that it was smoking at 91 mb per!!
I thanked the guy for such a fast speed and he told me that as soon as Brighthouse finds out, they will throttle it back. Lasted about 3 days at the faster speed, I mean I was downloading torrents at an amazing speed...something like 3600kb per.
Then they must have throttled it back to 40...I called them and asked them why they are throttling my connection....they said that they don't do that. I told them they were full of crap. So if anyone thinks that the providers can''t decide how much speed you get...be warned.
By the way Stu...that IS a smoking speed!
