The freak occurance of such a high speed DL spike was enough to convince me to come out forum-lurker mode and register to post.

Pretty good for me. 3M/512 advertised. I was rocking in the .8M/100 area the other night.

Your 'redundancy' is better than our main connection :P

Just how many people are there in your office building?

I figured I'd toss this in there. My old CS:S server (Gameagon) was hosted on this connection all to itself:

This was taken just over 2 years ago. One of my tests completed in like 2 seconds, whereas this one was stuck where it is... which is pretty close if I'm not mistaken. It was a DS3 line.

This is the best I've gotten. Spring break just started and the campus is probably seeing the lowest use it ever gets lol.

But yeah, normally its between 20k-30k down and 8k-10k up. Either way, it's awesome :) A lot better than the speeds i get at home.

I haven't seen my backwoods provider listed yet. We live 30 miles east of downtown Houston and we only have the option for this company.

Houston, TX Test

Corpus Christi, TX Test

Notice the difference in the ping test. The service is $19.95 a month and I don't know what they state their speeds to be. When we first moved here over 4 years ago the download speed on speedtest.net was 512 kb/s with 128 kb/s upload speeds.
