How do you do this? If I'm in Albany, NY wouldn't I be routed via Buffalo? I have a cable connection. Yesterday a tech guy came to check my connection because the speed is not what I'd call snappy (I think I'm spoiled with a T3(?) connection at UAlbany). He suggested in response to my asking that residential broadband probably is around 500 mhz (compared to 750 mhz in Korea?). He also said that the population density and the old cable infrastructure in my area might contribute to less than ideal speed. He pinged my network connection and it was in the 50 range. Next time I move, I'll want to know the the internet cable connection speed as much as the utility rates. Not sure how I could do that without the obvious anecdotal history from previous occupants.
