Default Slow, slower, slowest.

I feel like I am becoming addicting to these speed tests!

In any case, about five minutes ago I used both the widget here and the direct Speedtest site and come up with approx the same results of 2700 kbps -- which is about half of the speed I am paying for with Metrocast.

I can understand that during prime time periods that there would be a heavy load on their servers and the speeds slower, but at 9:30 in the morning? I hope a few more people here will try the speed tests during that prime time period of 8-9 to see what happens.

I have tried discussing this with their tech support people but they are not of any help at all -- actually, a little rude if you suggest they have a problem. Does anyone know how to get their attention there, or at least an explanation why they are only delivering half the speed we are paying for?
