Only if remove the router, direct connect and only on their network. Some folk have a very hard time understanding that once we transition off the TWC network onto the internet that the speed drops depending on many factors.
You will also notice that the internet infrastructure is not as advanced in the USA!

I don't know about everyone else but when I hear that cable internet i supposed to be fast I think ok, that means It will out run the crappy DSL service I used to have. Not the case. When I was in Germany I had ADSL 2+ that said 6000kbps. I come home and Time Warner says that they can provide me speeds upto 50mbps. Looking at the prices they had (honestly a hundred bucks for internet, get real) and decided that I should really only need 20mbps. Well at first they didnt even give me my 20, they had to call "tier 3 support" and that took days. Then I still didnt get anywhere close, and thats using the test from their servers. So I decided to crack out my D-Link Wireless N router thinking that maybe their single antenna modem is garbage. See the dsl that I paid 19.99 for came with a Modem that had built in N wireless and Gigabit ethernet. Well surprisingly running on my old router (DIR-655) I got Twice the speed at twice the distance away.My thought why is america still giving out half ^%#$# equipment when other countries are giving out better and charging less. My downloads are still slower than they used to be, significantly. They can advertise a connection of 50mpbs but guess what if your wi-fi has a max of 54 and your ethernet a max of 100 good luck ever seeing those speeds. Anybody else had issues like this or providers that actually gave what they advertised?
