    Yesterday's problem lasted through bedtime. This morning speed is back up to 13.8Mbps--not quite the 15, but nearly OK.

    I see you used an Atlanta, GA server for one of your tests. You might want to use speedtest.cfl.rr.com in addition to your personal favorite. This will rule out any bad servers outside Brighthouse's backbone network. I'm not saying this is your problem. But just so you know.

    Yes an Orlando server not on BHNS backbone, what cablevet is saying if you use the speedtest.cfl.rr.com site it will test your speed to BHNs backbone, this will help you determine if its a problem on the BHN network itself or the link to the "internet" itself.

    Yeah, mine was craptastic for a lot of yesterday too over in the Oviedo area. Seemed to be alright by 10 or 11pm last night though.

    I have never trusted that one because it ALWAYS, without exception, gives me higher numbers than any other test--and I run several, not just speedtest.net.
