You guys are all getting hosed:
*Yes, I'm in the U's engineering lab right now. But who's asking?
Your cost per bandwidth means you are definitely getting ripped off!
Is my ISP ripping me off?

I'm using a POS Netgear wireless router, and Microserve wireless internet with decent results, at about $49:
Better than the cable internet that cost me twice as much. Plus, this is unlimited so I don't have to worry watching netflix.
Wireless internet has come a long ways, if that's available in your area check it out.

I found the Comcast speed test site.
I think they cherry picked the best sites.

Still waiting for an answer to my e-mail complaint

If you knew the sweet deal I have, you wouldn't be laughing.
Here is my home Comcast.
I win slowest internet award
I spent the summer in Uganda, and if I would have kept some of my speed tests from there I would win hands down... If you are in an internet cafe 128kbs is doing pretty good

All I have to do is think back to my first modem that ran at 300 baud
(that would be .3 k) on a 4 mhz computer with dual floppy drives and no hard drive and 64 k ram and I feel good about my connection speed

I got an e-mail from Comcast that said they were pleased to tell me that they had increased my economy internet from 1 Mbs to 1.5 Mbs
Another e-mail came a few minutes later apologizing for the previous e-mail that was sent by mistake :-\

Qwest DSL, Xmission ISP. That comes out to $45/month.

Actually looks like you're getting hosed. You pay a lot for that connection.
Edit: Fastest I've seen here was ~ 940 down, ~ 80 up and 7ms latency.
At home with comcast it's regularly 28-30 down, 5 up and 10ms latency. Not sure how much my roommate pays but whatever it is I LIKE IT!

I forgot how horrible the interwebs in Idaho were... DO NOT MISS....

Not to mention you pay a premium for property down there! (Little jealous you live in Moab).
