Re: [BLUG] insight broadband vs. flets

I'm curious, are you actually getting the advertised speeds? What
would be a good way to test? I would only consider it to be what they
are advertising if you could download from a single site at a rate of
about 5 to 6 megabytes per second (for the 50Mbit connection).

Probably downloading an iso from one of the large mirrors would do the
trick.

My in laws (unfortunately) are on ISDN, but the isp they are with (Flets), offers 50M aDSL connections for US $42/month, or I can even get a 100M fiber connection for US $57/month. Makes Insight broadband's advertised 10M cable connections look like a joke.
