Fast at last! Fast at last

After many months of painfully slow internet service from Time Warner Cable, I’ve upgraded to a 20 Mbps connection from RCN. According to my first test, I got 15.6 Mbps. Not the advertised rate, but still 20 times faster than what I was actually getting from Time Warner. Even my upload speed is 2.5 times faster than the download I was getting before. At these speeds, I am seriously considering canceling my tv services as well. And since usually only the best shows end up on DVD, I think between Netflix and everything else available online, all of our tv needs can be met. So good bye loading bar, and hello multiple downloads.

What are you using to measure the speed of your connection?

What web site will you use as a replacement for actual cable tv?
