Infamous internet speed / speedtest.net thread

Believe it or not, this is over cable. I pay way too much for this, but unfortunately, I got no other options because ISPs are essentially "legal" monopolies here in America. There is fiber all around my area but for some odd reason, the local telecom here won't put forth the money and effort make the fiber go directly to the home rather than to the DSLAM cabinet. I speculate they're just stalling upgrade efforts to see how long they can get away with receiving free government grant money.
