Upgraded to 60 Mbps for free. I love Charter
I would take 60 Mbps and decent customer service with no caps over 150 Mbps, terrible customer service, and a cap any day.
This is from a server in California. 67 Ms ping, not bad. Quite happy with this new router (it's a Belkin N600 DB).

Why would you test to a CA server?

Download speed is nice, but that upload is awful. Also, if you are paying for 60Mbps I'd be complaining, you're only getting 53.

Yeah. I see quite a lot if games running servers in CA, so I thought I'd test with a server there.
And usually I do get around 60. Different times of day I get different speeds.
And yes the upload is pretty bad. But what can I do? DSL (slow DSL, like 10/2) and Sattalite are the only other options. Besides it's not like anybody in the family does much uploading, but we do quite a bit of streaming and gaming so a high download is better then a high upload for us.

Looks like a 100Mbps synchronous fiber connectionSchool on Wi-Fi.

Yes it is. There is a fibre cabinet right outside the school and we have a direct link to it.
That Upload
Yeah it rocks. Forget about downloading and uploading at home where I get 35/5 - now just going to take the laptop to school and download/upload at off-peak times!

Broke the 44Mb/s barrier today
I'm hoping when my system is in my room, and I ditch powerline I may see another increase, last time I tested these adapters they were maxing out at 40ish Mb/s
I could have a bit more headroom on my line that I don't know about

I'm confused..
I know it is weird, not sure why upload is always so much faster. It's been like that for years.

Worst. Speed. Ever.
This is about the same over my ethernet and wi-fi router. As a matter of fact, I tried SpeedTest.net at a PACKED McDonald's restaurant and it was faster than this.
Really, AT&T?!
