Can someone else that has RR Turbo here in Cary/Raleigh do a few speed tests to confrim this. I have been downloading from usenet all day and just look at a few traffic stats and see that I have been averaging 1265 KBps down all afternoon. Upload is still the shitass 512 Kbps.

1,265*8 = ??????

lol?

^^ dumb ass

1265 KBps = 9.8828125 Mbps

If you need a little help with the math equation, maybe you should just use google... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=6pl&q=1265+KBps+to+Mbps&btnG=Search

^ wow. you really think it is going to be 10mps exactly? come on now, you shaint be serious?

4/20/2008 10:35:32 PM

yeah, nice try to save face.
either "dumb ass" yourself, or troll....

I'm getting close to that...that's pretty hot.

4/20/2008 11:11:53 PM

what the fuck are we talking about?
What the fuck are you talking about....

you came on here, seemingly complaining about your 1265KBps download average on your 10Mbps account, which of course 1265KBps is as close to 10Mbps you're going to get out of RR. Re-reading, I see that you're not really asking any question, but then again, what the hell was the point of posting this to begin with?

4/20/2008 11:13:43 PM

To draw attention, but thanks for admitting you cant read. Thanks.

4/20/2008 11:15:46 PM

well considering I pay for the 8meg connection...I'm loving this.

4/20/2008 11:18:21 PM

MY COMPUTER IS GOING AT 1/8TH OF TEH SPEED!

4/20/2008 11:48:56 PM

i'm an idiot and should learn to read

I think the point of this thread was that twc doesn't offer a 10mbps package, just an 8 and the OP was wondering if it was unique to his connection or if others were seeing the boost.

4/21/2008 3:02:12 AM

^yeah that's a little above normal. I usually top out at around 960kB/s.

4/21/2008 3:44:16 AM

you really are fucking retarded.

4/21/2008 7:33:48 AM

don't most isp's allow for overhead?

4/21/2008 8:23:53 AM

^^huh?

4/21/2008 12:39:11 PM

not you, the OP.

[Edited on April 21, 2008 at 2:11 PM. Reason : sorry for the confusion. OP is a dumbass.]

4/21/2008 2:11:21 PM

^I still think you've missed the entire point of the thread

4/21/2008 2:48:27 PM

^yeah me too. The OP said he got a speed of "1265 KBps" which is ~300 kB/s above normal. I think he simply wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this slight boost.

Your bit/byte post didn't make any sense. He correctly posted his speed in bytes. Doesn't matter what you say it in as long as the conversion is right.

4/21/2008 3:06:14 PM

the op hasn't said that he's happy he's getting the speeds he's getting. It sounds like he's upset he isn't getting the speed he wants.


at least that's how I read it, and others have too.

4/21/2008 5:54:10 PM

I think it was more like he was wondering why it was ~300kB/s faster than normal which is a perfectly good question. TW doesn't usually give you a boost like that for nothing. I wish the damn upload was just faster. 50-60kB/s upload is like oldschool. You can't do jack with that upload.

4/21/2008 6:18:45 PM

just go work for google like some people here... limited bandwidth be damned
