While “mileage may vary”, you can expect DL speeds to be between 250 KB/sec and 600 KB/sec, with the average reported speed to be about 400 KB/sec. This translates to about 25 seconds for a 10 meg file. Your actual speed will depend on the number of people who are using the service in your area, and general internet traffic. These figures are for the new DOCSIS compliant modems. This is an increase from what the FAQs had previously stated. OOL seems to be upgrading it’s network to keep pace with their growing number of subscribers. We thank them, and hope this trend continues.
