Switched to a new ISP.

I switched over to a new ISP yesterday afternoon. So far it's about 5 times faster downloading and about 2.5 to 3 times as fast uploading.

Before;




And after;



I really noticed it today when I downloaded a 145 mb program, instead of taking 1/2 hour it took about five minutes.

I dropped most cable tv channels & added higher speed internet for a lower monthly bill. Looks pretty good tonight.

is similar to your old speed Our download used to struggle to get to 1 and the upload blah. Never realized it until I had a technician come in and ask what the hell is wrong with your internet speed?

And we think we are really, really lucky.

Hope you have many happy hours enjoying your lightening speed.
