Here's the speed at my sister/brother in law's house. I decided to go with the Corpus Christi server again. I live roughly 5 miles away from them.

Just for giggles I ran speedtest on the servers I connect to for work. They are somewhere in Austin, and are run by the client for which I run customer service. Here are my results:

Try a different server. The Houston server has crappier results for me than other TX servers.

I've found using the closest server to your location is usually lower than most others.
I use the Springfield, Mo. and Chicago, Il. and they give much better results.
