    Seems that Road Runner has upgraded our lines

    I'm getting 600kb/s now before I got 330 or so

    and Road Runner Premium should go to 8 mb/s

    sweeet!

    That's incredible...it's more magical to me than David Blaine's little tricks. I got 4710 kbs, and IE told me that I was getting 640 Kbs downloading a file from them.

    I need to burn some of my crap so I can get back to downloading stuff. =)

    Just reset your modem. It worked for me.


    (pull the power cord out of your modem..... plug your power cord back in your modem...)

    I just got up to 486 after a modem reset, where I was at about 350 before. Awesome. Upload cap seems to be about the same, though.

    Now if I could only get those 600 speeds Kaiser is getting....

    1114 down
    356 up

    i have roadrunner, i guess the upload is normal but the download is crap. how can i fix that or is it on their end? i tried the modem reset.

    Call them. I had the same problem a few years ago in my apartment and they sent someone out the next day. Turned out I had 3 cables (2 TV's and 1 modem) using the same splitter inside my wall. The guy re-wired it so that my modem cable had it's own line and it was 5 times as fast after that. They didn't even charge me for sending the guy out.
