I used the "recommended server" for my test, which is only 150 miles from here. Test and post results. See who's fast and who's slow. Use the "hyperlink" option to copy and paste your result.

>>>>>>> “I was just considering switching to Verizon Wireless. Not too sure about that. How’s it working for you?” <<<<<<<<<<
There is a 5GB limit. Come close to that a few times. Usually if I watch on-line TV or download 5,000+ files for a CMS system like JOOMLA or XOOPS.
The speed is fast enough for me.
I switched from Comcast. I got angry with them because my line went out and they didn’t want to come out and fix it in a reasonable time period.
Plus the Comcast internet speed seemed to be slower than the advertised rate. So although technically the speed on the Verizon card is much slower than the land line - from a practical point of view it is fast enough. I hardly noticed the difference.
I do have an occasional problem with ‘dropped lines’ if I try to use the service in the center of the house. But I have since fixed that problem by relocating slightly closer to the window. Perhaps I will spring for the antenna cable.
On the very big plus side... Well, I can use the service almost anywhere. No longer tied to the house.
If I want to get on line at the fast food joint - done; the coffee shop... done; the laundromat... DONE; at home... done; and even (just after I switched) in the Hurricane refugee center in Monroe. I was the only one on-line!!!

OK, no fair. You’re not allowed to have 23rd century technology, you’re screwing with the curve, dude.

Almost 1.5 more than last night. I thought I had a 5 Mb pipe. Who knows? One thing I now know is the "secret" of all the double naughts!

Now, now there. It's not really a competition and all of your results are equally good in there on way.

Comcast is restructuring their tiers. Minimum is around 1.5mb/s down. More is extra.
To: G-Bob
Almost 76 mbps; that is just astonishing!
