i love it when people claim 22mb p/s d/l speeds. considering that the highest speed you can get from cable providers is a 12mb connection and thats expensive as balls, not to mention practically no one actually gets 12 mb in reality. if you pay some crazy bill to get your 22 mb/s you should probably either rethink your life and find something better to throw your money at or just kill yourself because you haven't been a part of society on the past 2 years... or maybe you're just crazy rich and can't think of anything else to spend your cash on, in which case good job, now start thinking of someone other than yourself and donate your money instead of wasting ona connection thats about 4x as fast as you needeverdai
I find your reaction to be more than a bit over the top...
I have Comcast for my ISP, and I assure you, I don't pay that exhorborant of a price. I only pay $35 a month for my 16 mbps connection speed. Additionally, you apparently don't know much about internet speeds, as cable providers can offer speeds much, much faster than 12 mbps... Comcast offers upto 24 mbps in my area. There are cable speeds of 50 to 100 mbps + in some areas of the US. Look up DOCSIS 3.0 sometime.
Finally, of course the peak speeds of download are theoretical. I never would expect to get anywhere near 16,000 kbps on my connection in a real-world situation. However, I do rather like seeing real download speeds of over 1mbps.
On another note, here's my connection speed.
