Go test it if you're bored or wondering how fast your connection speed was at the time of the test.
http://webservices.cnet.com/bandwidth/?tag=st.dl.10013-101.prmo.3219993-gg

After you get to the results page, press the back button. If you're lucky, you'll see a results page saying that your speed is at "Infinity kbps - " or 8600 or 8160 kbps.

If you can't get to that infinity page, or you want to convince yourself that you made the right choice in choosing ISPs, the link is here:
http://webservices.cnet.com/bandwidth/results.asp?kbps=Infinity&ISP=&AreaCode=300
For a laugh, go here: http://webservices.cnet.com/bandwidth/results.asp?kbps=1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000&ISP=&AreaCode=300
As you might've guessed, you can change the results by editing the digits. :)


*lol* and look what I found at the bottom of the results page:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AND'.

/bandwidth/results.asp, line 235
