And yes, a router can have alot to do with affecting your speed. Unless your on a direct connection to the cable modem/source, your speed will always be slower than a host computer/direct wired computer.

DUMeter is actually a good utility. I used it before I had to replace my hard drive and lost my license. It's worth paying for. It'll keep a tab on how much you've transferred.
 
I like the graphic from SpeedTest and use that alot. I also use DSLReports.com, look for Tools. Some servers work better than others.

Somebody should send that fine County employee charged with protecting your consumer interests with Metrocast the link to this thread and ask him to explain why all these people are not getting the 6 meg connection they're paying for?

They advertise "up to" but they probably don't offer to let you pay "up to" do they?

:whistle:

Cable is like a big LAN. You share the big pipe with everyone in your "neighborhood."

Alot also affects your speed. CPU usage, RAM avaliable, what you've taken in, given out, etc etc. I'll run two more tests since I just restarted.

Here's the ones i use.

Everyone knows Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test

Speedtest

That's the metrocast/bbr speedtest.

Speakeasy - Speed Test

Speak easy not as nice as speedtest, but pretty reliable.

<--my test

I get pretty consistent speed most of the time. There's a metrocast forums on BBR and some techs monitor it, but they can't by law really guaranty to help you there. They do it out of their own time and will. If i had DSL available i would have jump ship to it a long time ago, is way cleaner connection with a better ping than cable.
