  Back in the Stone Age, you didn't have considerably option when it came to Net entry. Yeah, you could select your provider. But just about every single one of them in essence offered the very same thing - molasses-in-January slow connection speeds. If you had a 56k modem, you thought you were FLYING!
  
  Effectively, items have transformed a small bit, haven't they? Right now, who you pick for your World wide web services directly impacts the high quality and speed you are going to get. Do not get me incorrect - whichever broadband high-speed service you decide on is going to be light many years ahead of any dial-up connection you may have.
  
  But above at my DigitalTVDojo website, one particular of the factors I like to do from time to time is to do "speed runs" on the numerous providers obtainable (It is a geek issue.) because there ARE differences - even if they're tiny. (There's a hyperlink to my blog down at the end of this story. Examine it out since I also fill you in on a tiny secret that will save you hundreds of dollars when you purchase either service, so it really is absolutely worth your time - unless of course you make like a thousand dollars an hour or a thing.)
  
  The other day I did 1 of these speed tests on Comcast Cable World wide web and Street Runner Substantial Speed On-line from Time Warner just to check the claims the two companies were generating about how rapidly their solutions actually are. Here's what I observed...
  
  It was straightforward to confirm what Comcast was saying, simply because I have the services myself. I headed over to Bandwidthplace.com to see if they had been complete of it, and I'm joyful to say that they're not. In reality, according to Bandwidthplace, my connection is smoking at seven.six Mbps, which is even more quickly than Comcast officially says it is (awesome!). What does this indicate in the real globe? I can download a normal song that's all around 4 minutes in underneath 1 second. Rather sweet.
  
  Time Warner requires a distinct strategy. While Comcast throws stats out at you, Time Warner really shows you how rapidly their services is. (I have images of this up at my blog site - do not forget the link is beneath. And really don't neglect you can discover out how to conserve a couple hundred bucks there, as well.)
  
  Here's how Street Runner Higher Speed On the net shakes out. It is a bit slower than Comcast at a stated 5 Mbps. But in the authentic globe, what distinction does that make? You are nonetheless going to be downloading massive files in seconds. And against a normal dial-up connection, the comparison is downright stupid! A regular webpage with graphics will consider close to 21 seconds on a dial-up connection, whilst it will take significantly less than a second with Time Warner. And with videos, for illustration, it's even crazier - a normal video clip will take seven minutes to download with a 56k modem, and only seven SECONDS with Time Warner. That actually place it in point of view for me.
