Just signed up for something called Road Runner Turbo which is the faster version of Road Runner cable Internet service that is supposed to provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and up to 512 Kbps upstream. And the results don’t disappoint – Here is my bandwidth minutes after the upgrade:
Here is the before speed-test snapshot I had taken a couple of months ago. The download is almost twice as fast and the upload is at least 100K faster and close to 500kbps in other random tests.
PS: Speed Test conducted using the Speakeasy Speed Test flash application.

Is this different than the business class road runner? How much does this cost?

The bandwidth is the same as ‘business class’ roadrunner. The current offer is $5 extra per month for 12 months.

i dont believe this is as fast as business class, which is drastically more expensive. This service used to be known as RR premium and run about 69$ if you have digital cable. Ive had the service for about a year now. Regular rr is 5MB down, premium/turbo is 8 down. Although im hearing standard is about to jump up to 10MB down as of jan 1.. maybe turbo will be 15?

I’ve had Roadrunner Turbo for a week. Although it’s very fast when it’s working (tests show about ~11Mbps download, vs the ~6Mbps I was getting before, it also seems to be “choppy”; i.e., I get random delays when loading web pages. This is something I haven’t experienced before Roadrunner Turbo. I’m going to give it another week or two.

I also upgraded to Roadrunner Turbo as in the ad said up to 15meg down. Which i was only getting 11megs & when i called to complain they had the nerve to tell me i had a router which i don’t so i went back down to standard RR.
