That depends on where you live. Alton has Metrocast and TDS (formerly Worldpath). Also, it depends on what you call "hi-speed".

When I run speedtest.net on my pc and my laptop, I get around 6.82 on the downloads, which is better than the provider average and nearly at what would be the max (7 Mbps). I usually select Portland ME as the server. I also think that Metrocast's average may be hurt by those using the basic highspeed at up to 1.5 Mbps.

BTW, I get the same speeds on my laptop as I do on the desktop, so wireless shouldn't come into play.

What kind of download speeds are you getting?
