			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I keep seeing the commercials for the different internet choices, cable, DSL, <a href="http://www.sdsl.co.uk/">SDSL providers</a>, even things like Dish. Still think I like cable. The reason is, at least here anyway, the others may have cheaper prices or better rates but from what I’ve seen you only get those by taking a cut in download speed. I have not done an in depth look but every time I see the commercials for the different services I have yet to see one that would match what I am currently getting. They look like great deals and would save me money but they would also drastically drop my available bandwidth. That would not be good.</p>
<p>Even though the different terms can be confusing for internet speed, things like <a href="http://www.managedcomms.co.uk/products/leased-line">kilostream</a>, megabytes or bits, fiber and phone line you get used to a certain speed and it hurts when you drop down. That’s why a lot of people like their work connection, it is faster than home. I think I have been pretty lucky in that recently, home is faster than work, although if you are working at home does it still work out that way? I really don’t use a whole lot of bandwidth, other than for work so I guess I probably wouldn’t know it if my isp cut my bandwidth by a bit. If they did a lot I would certainly notice. I don’t play online games or download big files a lot so I probably wouldn’t notice. Might be nice if they did though, wouldn’t that be breach of contract since I am paying for a specific speed? I know there are sites and places you can go <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/internet-speed-test/">to test</a> your speed and see what you actually have but I really haven’t found the need to do that. Hopefully I never do, although curiosity might get the best of me here sooner or later and get me to check into it. Has anybody else checked their internet speed?</p>
