I wonder sometimes about  people on here posting speeds of 9.0MB to 14MB' are those speeds real? or do people want to show off and claim they have superior connections  ( im not talking about cached tests ) all i know is that some ISP sell upto 6.0MB service plans and then there's T3 bandwidth ISP that has these three plans  6.0MB, 15MB and 30MB but im sure they cost a bundle. I pay  $44.95 for adelphia's 6.0MB plan that gives me speeds between 5.6MB  and reaches upto 7.2MB.when traffic is light. I trully wonder who is posting real scores and who is just a faker....

Although I've been guilty of posting cached tests myself    I wonder the same thing. I'm pretty sure Van Buren's speed is accurate but some of the 7 and 8 MB posts are hard to believe.

I'm at my sister-in-law's right now and she has Roadrunner:

with verizon fiber reaching more and more home

u will see more post of speeds on the 15Mbps

they are for real

and some big ones are from univesities and work places like that

ive hit above 60,000 Kbps on my dedi it just wont show it and itll easily do that

try it again... the limit was raised recently... try mirrors too... i wanna see a speed that high thats real ;)

k ill do it later on today and post it in here
