I have to agree. It seems the providers have really managed to "fix" their systems so the burst data rate is awesome. The first 5 megs or so scream!!! Then it crawls after that. In Payson I am using SuddenLink (cable) and I love it. I had 7MB CenturyLink (Qwest, DSL) and it was awful. My Pastor had Centurylink at the church and I could never convince him to switch. I would show him my speedtest.net ratings of ~ 17 MB down on a 15 MB connection. He had a 7MB connection and speedtest.net would always say his connection was ~ 5 - 6 MB down... But Netflix would stutter. He is a huge MLB fan and watches all the games online, but they look horrible and buffer constantly. I finally got him to switch to cable and he just laughs. He cannot believe how much faster it is, and it's 1/3 the price!

You can also forward to a friend. Arizona Telecommunications and Information Coucil Digital Arizona Program Internet Speed Test Take The Test http://www.digitalarizona.gov/speedtest/[3] On behalf of the Digital Arizona Program (DAP) ATIC is encouraging you to take the Internet Speed test today. DAP created an Internet Speed Test and Survey on the Digital Arizona web portal to measure the upload and download (connection) speeds at tens of thousands of locations (i.e. homes, offices, etc.) around the State. The Speed Test is a simple “click here” web-link (commonly used nationwide) with a display indicating connection speeds (Mbps) at a particular location and moment in time. The combination of data from large quantities of speed tests along with answers from the related survey questions will be analyzed by the Digital Arizona team to determine potential areas and/or communities that may be poorly served. Together with initial device and location type questions, after the Speed Test there are some optional questions to help us learn about what kind of Internet services folks are using and how those services are being used. This will assist us with our goal of facilitating access to better high-speed Internet service for ALL Arizonans, especially those residing in the rural areas of the State. Digital Arizona Program
