Howdy! Tom,   
      
   Time Warner keeps sending me Advertisements in my Postal Mailbox about   
   their broadband internet at the fixed price of $14.99 USD Guaranteed.   
      
   Since You started using Cable broadband I was wondering what Rate do   
   You get downloads at?, and what Speed Plan do You use?   
      
   The max I've seen with Firefox and AT&T DSL is 80Kbs, I think that 'b'   
   is Bytes, I'm not downloading anything right now to know if the 'b' is   
   Bits or Bytes. I use their Basic DSL service, which I think is 768KB/S.   
      
   The TW ad says the fixed price is for a 2Mbps plan, which I divide by   
   11 to get 181.8 KiloBytes/Sec. including the Start, Stop and Parity   
   Bits per Byte.   
      
   I have read Cable has Rate Plans up to 50M, but not interested in   
   having the TWC folks install their gear here at any speed, I'm just   
   interested (Nosey) What Rate of Downloads You (Or Anyone) get at the   
   Speed Plan You/They use.   
      
   I'm glad I'm not on Dial-Up now, iirc a good download speed back then   
   was 200 Bits/Sec.   
      
   I might be wrong in my calculations, but I'm sure You or someone else   
   can tell me Whats What.   
      
   Thanks es 73 ar
