time warner keeps upgrading service so it am not sure what my bandwidth is now, but it started at a 5mbit connection
perhaps its over 5mb or whatever. I just got a new filter on my connection too which might help. I seriously though get 800k/s downloads, I mean why would I lie about it?
I guess I could post a screen shot next time it happens
also technically 5,120kb = 5mbit (i did that math in my head really fast)
Here's 4.7MB/s and 133GB downloaded over 8 connections (server addresses removed for obvious reasons)
The do a darn good job of keeping me pinned @ 603KB/s tho, which is why i don't understand how you got to 800. Are you sure your software wasn't lagging? I know sometimes if i'm doing something else on my computer, my speed rises, but it's just because the ticker cache is getting trashed by my bogged down cpu.

well I just now did a speed test from dslreports.com
I will say that my connection does flux a bit during certain times (peak hours) of the day. Here is another site I tested my connection with
http://www.info-techs.com/speedtest50.html#HowCalc
when I first went there I was getting a rating of 708kbps, but I had my torrent client running. When I turned off my torrent client I was getting a rating of 4080 every time, even every time I refreshed.
Bandwidth is a funny thing and can never be expected to run at 100% connection rate ever. You will always have some sort of loss in speed somewhere. I mean your router could be a cheap one and split the connections between all your clients. I only have one client downloading on my connection. My router is very decent and has 16MB of memory on it, where as most consumer routers only boast a mere 8 or 4 MB. I also run an open source linux kerenel which is very idecntical to the one cisco uses in their routers. That could be the difference. I don't know
What I do know is, that I can break the 1mbit/s download rate and have done it before.
I was having connection issues a few months back. My connection would slow down and eventually drop. I'd have to reboot the modem and reconnect and it would repeat itself a day later. After a few weeks of this I contacted Time Warner (road runner cable) and had a cable guy come look at my connection. He said I had a bad filter and replaced it with a brand new one. I assume that also helps my connection.
