I've checked my internet speed a couple of times in the last week or so and something is really strange good. My service is suppose to be 15/2 (15MB download and 2MB upload. However my download speed seems to have gone on steroids. I think Verizon has removed the limit on my service? Has anyone seen speeds like this? See the 2 screen shots just taken. I love it but it's freaking me out.

Damn!

How long do you have these crazy speeds?

Not sure how this service works Buzzzz, but I do remember something about needing to clear the cache before running the tests on some of these.

Maybe that's what's happened. Otherwise, you should play some online games in the next few days before they find out.

Yeah, I clean up that stuff pretty much every day so I don't think that's it? I tried two sites with the same results, maybe I'll try another, if I can find another that works with fiber optic service. Speakeasy is the one I normally use. Not sure that I want to fix it though? LOL

At least a couple of weeks, better keep a close watch on my bill from Verizon, eh?

Heheh, nice

. I know how it feels to have great download speeds: our campus network has similar performance.

You didn't notice the military setting up any top secret installations in your neighbourhood and digging up the road to lay large ammounts of cable, did you?

I'd check the lines going to your PC... with speeds like that, they are likely to get HOT!
