Are You Getting The Internet Speed You Pay For?

There is a way to test it, here are two websites that help you do that

At my primary (wired) location I pay for 16 Mbps coming down, and about 3 Mbps going up (like uploading home movies to YouTube).  The upload is very slow, of course, sometimes an hour for a 8 minute video.  At another location I use, the WiFi is only 6 Mbps coming down, and .6 Mbps going up. Only a fraction of my normal wired set up.  I have tried to get Time Warner to increase my speed to 30 Mbps coming down, and I am paying for 30 Mbps but it is still only 16 Mbps.  More calls and aggravation is in store, I am sure.
