It's all about one word... latency!
It's not all about pipe size, it's about how fast the shit moves down the pipe.

That's the nail head right there. I too am on cable, business class, and will max my downloads out at 820k with a 90k upload.
The key to what you said though is what hip and I have been experiencing. Since we upgraded and moved servers, again, we seem to be hitting a lot of latency and the site is really slow at times, and times out at others.
Looking over the comments and 3 polls I posted it would seem that most are on cable and most think the site is fast... average or above.
So with that then it would seem that only a select few are experiencing the samething hip and I are - which seems to depend solely on the route we take from our isp to the server. It also sucks that since we're both on a lot we have the slowest connection to the box. lol
We're working on some things so hopefully we can clear it up, but still, it sucks cause it's a LOT of work to move all this stuff around and it's even more difficult to find a reliable datacenter with a fast connection to the majority of our members. grrr
Thanks too all for the votes and comments - they will be used to determine the future of 'Topia City....
