In before the bucket. Also in before someone tries to explain the difference between a MB and a Mb to lafta.

lafta, the results are in Mb (megabit) not MB (megabyte), there's 8 bits per byte, do the math:

13Mb/s download = 1.62MB/s
.36Mb/s upload = 46KB/s

which is pathetic (upload)

IN before someone comes in here with their work or educational (non-home) ISP result

Standard RoadRunner account (not sure what it’s supposed to be, but it’s clearly faster than what they bill it as)

Time Warner with turbo boost...

I don't care much about upload speeds (I've gotten around 75 kB/s with some torrents) but download speed could be better (though again, I've gotten around 1.5 MB/s with some torrents)

My work's connection is 2 Mb up, 2 Mb down

actually you're right, i saw something different, i was copying by typing what i saw
when i saw MB i did a double take, i looked again it was MB
so i say whatever, but now i realize i saw something different

hell i didnt even expect it to be over 6Mb/sec anyways, so seein 13MB or 13Mb is still shocking
its only a factor of 8 off anyways

^^Please just stop. I honestly don't know if you really are THAT stupid, or if you're some evil genius pretending to be the dumbest guy alive, either way, your shit doesn't belong outside of Chit Chat.

I've had Fios here in Tampa for 5 years now. We were considering moving and it was a requirement that the new house had Fios available.
