First off... what are you using to test your speeds. You should not be using some site that puts out a graphical representation. You have too many variables in there. You should be going to a site and downloading a test package and watching the transfer rates. Make sure the site has the capability to push 6megs to you. Then make sure you have your bits/bytes conversion down. After that look at your own pc's. Are you running a Pentium 2 with 32 megs of ram with every piece of spyware and adware known to man running? Not to mention that if you feel you have a speed issue, both Verizon and Comcast will send a tech out with a laptop and test the speeds. I know this first hand. I can't believe that slashdot would post this piece of shit news article.
