Using Speedtest.net I achieved an impressive 4,323 kb/sec download speed and awful 124 kb/sec upload speed on Road Runner from home. (I tested with the Chicago server.) Road Runner advertises up to 5 mb/sec download speeds and 384 kb/sec upload speeds in Lincoln. My upload speed seems pretty slow, but the download speed is about as fast as it's going to get, by the time you take normal internet traffic overhead into account.
What's your best speed, and with what provider did you achieve it?

4.5 meg down, and .351 meg up. Not too bad, though I’m always leery of most speed test sites due to the fact that results can vary wildly. Bandwidthplace.com reports only 3.9 down, (it doesn’t test upstream bandwidth) so who knows who’s right.
Speedtest gave me 1,729 kb/sec download and 305 kb/sec upload using Windstream DSL. I suspect, given the monthly rate I’m paying, I’m on a watered down version of their DSL plan. That’s fine with me.
