The true test of your speed is to check it between 6-11 PM when everyone is home, TV's on, and Internet blazing. The Metrocast guys like to say TV doesn't affect Internet speed, but that's B.S because they all have to flow through the same pipes, and the TV bandwidth takes a big share of that pipe, especially the HD stuff...

My 6 megabit connection is dropping down to barely 1 megabit during that time...

But then this is even more bazaar. This site reports a good connection during problem times?

See how it starts dropping at night...

Nope, the three. Fast as I need. Most people don't realize they DL only as fast as the website they're pulling from can send it.
