The speed depends on the time of day. I noticed it's faster at night. Below is my speed result at 6:40am PH/HK time: [b]Communications:[/b] 855.6 kilobits per second [b]Storage:[/b] 104.4 kilobytes per second [b]1MB file download:[/b] 9.8 seconds [b]Subjective rating:[/b] Good[/quote] Cable technology behaves this way... if you want a more stabler connection, a DSL line is more predictable. With cable you "share" the same backbone cable together with your "neighborhood". You should have the fastest speeds when most your your "neighbors" are not on their PCs .
