According to my service plan I've got the same thing. 156 down and 15 up. Isn't this how it's always done?

For me it's never been this slow, not even close. I've ran tests before and gotten 600 to 700 kbps down.
They advertise 1500 kbps down on their website. |

According to that site, I get:
1500 kbps down 108 kbps up. Depending what site you use you get different speeds as you most likely know. If I test using buckeye I only get 675 down. For more places to check your throughput try the different ones at [url]http://www.toast.net/performance/[/url] |

Try this. Start downloading a large file and it will download pretty fast. While it's downloading, start uploading a file somewhere else. The speed on the downloading file will go way down.
Whatever they use for their speed limiter limits the WHOLE connection when it's active. Your inbound speed goes to shit when you're sending stuff out. |

This has been going on for awhile for several locations. It seems that when the local cable companies convert over from @Home, they lower their through put.
BUT most sites are reporting that it is temporary! Hopefully when your local cable company finishes its conversion they will bump back your bandwidth. |

kilobits are different than kilobytes, bandwidth is measured in kilobits

My @home service has also been horrible lately. It been that way for several weeks now and I'm thinking of changing to bellsouth dsl. Mine is only on half of the day now as it usually is off from 10AM to 5PM every day and they don't know how to fix it.
