My upload would be better, but I have to pass through a ton of wire... Modem > 14ft Cable > Sprint Tower Broadband Booster (for cell phones - uses bandwidth) > 5ft Cable > Router > 6ft Cable > Desktop. Beats my old setup which was modem > 50ft > Booster > 20ft > Router P.S. I have NO idea why my IP resolves to MO. I don't live there....

The one I posted above was exceptionally good in comparison to normal. My upload however, is the same 99.9% of the time, 0.36Mb/s no matter what device I'm on.

Its the upload that's my issue, 0.36. I physically can't use Skydrive or dropbox etc to store anything large, it takes too long to upload.

On a good day, I can upload 500MB in about 5 minutes flat :) Have you tried Office 2013 Preview? It's got great Skydrive integration, I love it.

Tom, I have the Tiger in my cross hairs which will slow you down a bit. Will take one paw at a time until my speedtest and yours are the same. Just joking of course as I would be flaunting it too! I feel the need for speed. Dennis

Still trying to convince the parental units to switch over to comcast... I need better upload, getting work down with such slow upload speeds is painful... I would be happy with 20 dl/10 up but we will see... Back when I had comcast a few years ago they called my house at like 3 am complaining about internet activity... (had 6 xboxes hooked up playing COD4) After explaining the situation the rep throttled the connection up and I believe never turned it off? We paid for I think 20 mbps dl and I would get 80+.... I don't know if they still throttle up but wouldn't surprise me if they didnt...

Instant? OMG, most of my page loads take 10 seconds+, with images still arriving corrupt, and web pages rarely fully load before crashing out. I think that the speed isn't so much of a problem, but the quality. Speed is OK, varies between 1.5MB/S up and 0.3MB/s down at best, and 0.27MB/S up, 0.04MB/S down at worst. Actual download speeds vary between 120KB/S, and 10Bytes/second (yes, bytes). Mad variation.
