Re: Is Broadband Speed Just an Illusion?
well 20 is only about 4 times faster than 4.... Which is probably going to go unnoticed for the most part. I mean if a web page loads in .025 seconds instead of .1 seconds, are you really going to notice? Now on large downloads, you should notice about a 4x difference. This would be very noticeable. 1 minute instead of 4 mins. 30 mins instead of 2 hours. So if you aren't noticing near a 4x improvement on large downloads then its very possible that the servers you are downloading from don't upload at the full capacity of your download speed.
If you think about it for large sites that have many visitors then this actually makes quite a bit of sense. To be able to Max out 10 connections like yours, that server would have to have an upload speed 10 times your download speed. To max out 100 connections like yours it would have to have an upload speed of 100 times your download speed. Now I don't know about you but these are quickly climbing up to some massive speeds.

pretty slow, not the slowest dsl though. You must have a low tier 1.5Mbs. That is what I had when I had DSL. It also depends on the equipment. For here Verizon charges the same price, if you change locations the same service will top out at 3

Re: Is Broadband Speed Just an Illusion?
Download speed: 2.97 Mbps
Upload speed: 0.51 Mbps
Is that fast or slow? and how do I find out what it is SUPPOSED to be? I mean, don't I pay Embarq for a certain speed? if so, I'd like to know that I am really getting that speed.. Does that make sense?

Re: Is Broadband Speed Just an Illusion?
If this it slow, why is it blowing me away? The pages come up as fast as I can look and click.
