I decided that I needed to geek out a bit this weekend and called Time Warner Cable to upgrade our standard 7 Mbps (512 Mbps upload) cable Internet access to Road Runner Turbo, which is instead capped at 15 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. Sure, there’s plenty of stuff that this will have absolutely no impact on, but I noticed an immediate difference in online gaming as well as certain mainstream websites which I frequent. Uploading to the ftp servers for the websites I run has also doubled in speed, which is great. On top of those reasons there is, of course, always the geek bragging rights associated with having the fastest available Internet access available in Wisconsin and among the fastest in the country.
