Mine is 5145 kbps

Thanks Bill for the link to that site. For quite a few years I have had Verizon DSL as my IP. On the day you put the link up, their connection tested at their limits of:

768 kbps download
133 kbps upload

I never really knew just how slow my connection was. But armed with that information, I talked to Verizon and learned that was as good as they would be able to do, in my area. Then I talked to Time Warner/ Roadrunner and found out they would be able to guarantee at least 10,000 kbps for less than $10 more that I was paying for Verizon. I had it installed today and the initial test was:

21,527 kbps download
967 kbps upload

There's a big difference. Thanks.

Jerry, I am glad you found the link useful... I mainly wanted the information because I was curious how the site is loading on everyone's computer. There other factors involved, but the speed is pretty important.

BTW... Your new speed makes me jealous.

Thanks to everybody that posted!
