yea 200 a month

its only something like 20 mb not 100 mb.. i guess the 100 isnt even availble in my area yet and i think its something around 200 a month on its own. the extreme tier is 140 a month alone and its only 50 mb

I have the RoadRunner Lightning at 40Mb.  I only get the full 40mb when I am on the RoadRunner network (essentially between my house and their main node), which is not where I surf.  Outside their network I get a steady 20+Mb.
 
Lunchy, most equipment sold these days can handle 1Gb up and down.  For the last couple of years the built in lan ports on most quality PCs have been Gb ports.  Just make sure your routers and switches are matched and you'll get all of it.

Damn our ping!  Around exams, it bumps up to over 900, essentially preventing play...

Is Comcast rolling out DOCSIS 3.0 up there?

Although Raleigh is a Fiber hub for the SE, I think Atlanta is bigger...

I was interested most in Atlanta.  Any traffic I send through there is dumbed down to the point I should just hand deliver my messages.  Something is up with the SE Node of the backbone.  Nothing anyone can do about it except complain.
