I am running roadrunner turbo here in Millbrook Al which is what Brighthouse cable offers around here. The connection is stated "up to" 16mb down and 2mb up and for the most part its pretty good during the day with speeds ~10 - 12mb down and 1.5 - 2mb up however late at night when the network isnt as congested the download speeds can be pretty rediculous usually ~ 20 - 25mb.
Since I do alot of online gaming I do have to add that the routing for this service is the dumbest I have ever seen. If I ping my neighbor the signal will bounce to the office then somewhere around Dallas Texas and then back to the same office and on to whoever I pinged. So for instance the guy next door an I play together occasionally but for p2p gaming such as what is seen on a console or a private match of say Quake then one of us is going to have a 100ms ping which is unacceptable even for the worst of standards given the guys system is literally 5 ft away from mine in the next appt. . So no matter where any server you visit whether it be trying to watch HD movies online through Netflix or connecting to a game server somewhere you will Allways be routed to texas first even if the server is in the opposite direction! (140 ping to a friend who lives in mobile Al but yet he can ping 30 to a server down the road from me...).
