Thanks for the pointer. Of course, what I'd really like to know is what their actual performance is :-) When I was last with TWC, they promoted {10 MB down, 2 MB up} but I never got close to that: IIRC my best TWC home download ever was 1.92 MB/s, briefly, while on a direct wire connection to the cablemodem. And that was on a laptop that regularly did 20 MB/s downloads on my academic network.

I was just reading this and I'm wondering if you are mixing your acronyms.
You said that they promoted 10 MB down and 2 MB up. I'm guessing that you meant to use 10 Mb (Megabit) instead of 10 MB (MegaByte) because a 10MegaByte connection would be close 100MegaBit connection which aren't exactly cheap.
Then you said you get 1.92 MB/s (Mega Bytes per second) which seems like you were actually getting more than you were paying for since a 10 Megabits/second connection would max out at 1.28 MegaBytes/second under perfect circumstances which you will almost certainly not have.   20 MegaBytes/Second seems a little high but not unreasonable for a good academic network especially if they are running a cache.

Anyway, I just saw some potential ambiguity with you acronyms thought you might want to clarify....or just say shutup Brian, you knew what I meant :)
