Time Warner Speed Tests

Well I just got my Time Warner Turbo hooked up and ran a couple of speed tests and here are the first three results:

So if these speeds keep up, I'll be pretty happy! ^_^

Changing ISPs

This evening we'll be switching our Internet service from Windstream to Time Warner.  I've been waiting for Windstream to provide faster service here, but every time I've asked them if they will be upgrading soon they always told me there were no plans in the near future.  So I've decided to make the switch.
I've actually been against cable most of my life because you don't have a dedicated line and you have to share bandwidth with everyone around you, so this will be my first experience with it.  I'm hoping for the best, so we'll see.  I figure I can always change back again if I don't like it, so I might as well give it a try.
Right now we're getting 6Mbps from Windstream, and I've signed up for 15Mbps down and 1Mbps up from Time Warner.  Here is my SpeedTest from Windstream:
I'll post one from Time Warner this evening after they come hook it up, cross your fingers!
