Road Runner users- what's your speed?

[PaulKTF]

I'm begining to wonder if my Road Runner connection is too slow? I have TWC's All-In-One package and my computer gets connectivity via a wireless router connected to another computer in the house.

Here's the speed test results:



Does that look normal? If you have Road Runner could you please post your results in this thread? Go here:

do the test (I selected the Germantown server), and then paste in the "Forum" link code.

Thanks.

You should be getting 7m down, 512k up.

Hmmm okay... I wonder why my connection isn't up to these numbers?

It wasn't too clear to me in the first post, but is the computer your testing wireless?  If so, try a computer that's wired to the router.  If it's not higher then, you either have a signal problem or need a new modem.

Yes the one I'm testing is wireless.

Wireless connection via Linksys router, HP Pavillion desktop computer, circa 2003. I live in G-town. I have RR turbo service.

I get mixed results with wireless so that's why I factor that in.  I don't know if there's just a lot of interference in my house or if the walls are blocking the signal too much, but I definitely prefer wired over wireless if I'm looking for a decent, stable connection to the internet.  My PS3 works so much better with the wired connection when playing games online.

Okay so I'm not the only one getting that speed...  phew!

That's with Road Runner Turbo.  I got the same speed selecting Germantown.

I guess the question is,

If you pay the additional $10/mo or whatever it is for Turbo or Business Class, (not sure what the fee is,) what exactly do they do?  Do they put you on a different server with more bandwidth and higher speeds?  What's on the Turbo/Business package that gives users the speed increase?

I really haven't noticed any slowdown, but I came from an awful DSL company (Athenet) and before that, dial up with the same awful company.  For the little crap that I download, I don't think an upgrade to Road Runner Turbo or Business class would make a difference.

I went from 28.8kbps dial-up with a local ISP to Road Runner so I guess I shouldn't complain either. It is plenty fast for what I use it for...
