*OT* this speed is only what you will get within the local network (and they tell you that as well). It is just the speed from your house to their central point. The interesting - and much much slower - bit is the rest of the way to the internet.

I am on another cable network where I regularly have a download speed of around 750kbps. Testing your RR network i get:

Roadrunner Bandwidth Results
Loaded 1858812 bytes in 137.91 seconds.
Your throughput is:108 Kb/s (kiloBITS per second)
13 KB/s (kiloBYTES per second)

Not so rosy (but still beats DSL on price/performance)

Kevin,

Did it at 9 am Pacific on Saturday morning, got 507 Kb/s, or about 6% of what you are getting.

It is still a heck of a lot faster than AOL. But it appears that cable is king.

Later.
