    My Other Reviews·Comcast
    My RCN cable became Astound sometime a while ago. Nothing really changed much other than my static IP address that I paid for changed. This didn't make me too happy.

    But the speed seems closer to around 15M/1M now where the RCN was about 10M/1M. Not sure if there was a speed plan change.

    For most stuff on the net I am able to pull the full line speed all the time (1300 - 1400 kB/s) and am happy with that. They also don't mask hops in my trace routes out (like Comcast) or employ any 'SpeedBoost' throttling type stuff that slows my connection down after a couple megabytes of transfer... Just full 15 megs down when I want it.

    I would much rather have a connection that is stable 15M than bursting to 20M for a second then slowing to 8M (yea, I'm looking at you Comcast).
