Why is my roadrunner service slower than my DSL?

Question

I'm getting roadrunner (10mbps) as a new service and it is slower than my DSL (712kbps) can someone tell me why?

Answer 1

What time of day?  If anytime if could be a faulty cable.  If just at certain times it could be you have a bandwidth hog in the neighborhood sucking the torrents dry.

I would do it for a couple of days at different times.

Then contact your cable company and talk to them about it.

Answer 2

sound to me 1 or 2 things are going on. (1) that is is using up alot of your memory (2) alot of people are getting online at the same time.

Answer 3

too many users on the cable.

Answer 4

temporary problem with the internet service clogging to many people logged on or a server went down.  Usually the 10mbps thing is like no service.  call the provider.
