    Cox offers a 5MB internet connection and I know that it runs at that speed at all times. Every so often I actually find it running at 7-8 mb/sec. Find a site that tests your internet speed and see if it is actually hitting it.

    Hmmm...
    it tested out at 1 Mbps on a couple of sites. lol

    I need to get back with these ppl. I, being an ex-Earthlink Tech should know better than reading the "connected speed" on a wireless connection. However I'll make sure I get my guaranteed speed one way or another.

    I had G-Tek come out and install this wireless. They are customers of mine. Hey, if you do consider to go with them then please tell them I referred you. lol I'll pm my name so I can get a referral credit if you don't mind. The service is around $40 a month with an equipment rental added.

    lol
    I gotta try a few more bandwidth sites for a good speed reading.

    OK....
    I guess I got me a GTO today as most tests are around 1.1 Mbps...

    Hey any mods out there reading this? Why do I have so much trouble changing a thread title? I can't seem to do it for this.
