Right now, the speed on our Internet infrastructure is embarassely too low!
Please ignore the download speed, especially for you Deafies who use videophone alot. Pay attention to Upload speed. Usually ISP won't advertise the truth about upload speed. The will, if you ask them. Usually it is 385KBPS. That is enough for just one VP at a time.
If you want the best Internet service, move to Japan!

Yup it's typical of slow upload speed.
Word of Warning, If anyone have Everest Cable or SureWest Cable ( affiliated of Everest). Avoid at all cost. They throttles download speed. I had one for three years and were unhappy about it. I had 256kbps basic speed when I first got it then years later they upgraded to all customer 512kpbs. Either speed I had still suck and it was downloading 72kpbs to be exact no matter if I use Windoz box or Tuxbox. I mess with ethernet and cable and even I called Evererst to replace cable outside of my house. I still get damn 72kpbs. Until I called Tech service and had a heated discussion and finally they admitted they restricted speed. I asked you mean if I order 1mbps package, I get 1/4 of the speed!!?? He said yeah that's correct.
Immediately I told my wife I want to switch to Road Runner with 3 tier package. So we did and I was very happy to see 784kpbs but it occasionally go over 850kpbs.
So Avoid Everest or SureWest at ALL cost, As they advertise speed, they're a fraud!! I don't believe in speedtest at all if they direct me to!!
