bah, I clear mine first.

Speedguide test only shows speeds up to 15Mbs. Again I clear the cache first. My speeds have started bounceing around lately, speedguide has been as low as 4.5Mbs and Speedtest as low as 40Mbs.

I'd tell you to download everything you want now, but if RR has a 20 gig a monthy cap in place then that wouldn't help. lol

something still ain't right.. do a FTP test to somewhere in NJ.

or Ping a server in NJ...you can find a IP# to do that with from most game server companies cause most of them have a presence in NJ.

That you might be right on . That RR has not put a limit on their power boost. I have it here in Canton,OH and my speedtest and downloads are bounceing around as OSULLY stated his are.

That happened when Comcast was rolling out PowerBoost where I lived a couple of years ago. At first I was regularly getting between 60 - 90 megs for several months. Once they completed it and fine tuned it, was consistently around 26-28 megs.
