Well I got a cable hook up today.  Raised my monthly bill by $5 or $6 over DSL and I have a much better connection.

Rathe, even though Frederick the technically the closest server for speedtest.net, I've always had much better results from Washington DC or New York. I think the server that hosts the test in Frederick just isn't very good. Or, you should test out the "other" speedtest server I mentioned in the staff forum.

And just to clear this all up, AVG basically was dividing by zero. To calculate a transfer speed, you would take the amount received divided by the time spent downloading to give you your transfer rate. The above screenshot shows a 0 byte file, that has 0 bytes remaining and 0 bytes received. For some strange reason though, there are still 9 hours, 10 minutes, and 44 seconds remaining on the transfer. I guess it's tough to round properly when dividing by zero.
