Totally agree. >When your Internet has to go 22,300 miles, at best, straight up for its first hop even the speed of light begins to feel slow. Speed of light = 186k miles per second. Light can travel that 22,300 miles 8.5 times in one second. That's back and forth 4 times in the time you blink. >The median advertised download speed is 7Mbps. The reality is just over 4Mbps. Because Farmville needs that last 3Mbps. You can watch Netflix at full definition at those speeds. A hotel asked what their bandwidth was and we figured it to be just about 4Mbps - a hotel with dozens or hundreds of people.

This was terrible. I hope next time they do one of these test they let us know so we can release a few hawks and a couple of guys with 12 gauge shot guns. Not to mention you ever tried to copy 300gb files from one computer to another over a standard 10/100 network. Pigeons would come close on that one as well. Why did he stop with 10 pigeons why not 100 then he could gripe about fiber being slow as well.
