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!!
