I moved into my new house yesterday. Today, my cable guy came to install my cable TV, phone (I use VOIP), and internet. The internet service I have been paying for the last couple of years was advertised as 5mbps down, 384kbps up. In my old apartment, I was lucky to get 1mbps. This was due to the fact that there were hundreds of miles of crappy old cable running through the building, as well as the fact that I'm sure there were hundreds of others using the same cable company for internet.
The cable guy ran brand new cable all throughout my new house, and even ran new cable to the service box. As a result, my speeds more than quadrupled.
I just did a online speed test using dslreports.com
