By contrast I ran the test at Warner Cable Road Runner. This
connection is between my computer and a internal computer at Warner,
not far from where I live. There is no Internet involved in this test.

4678 Kbps (kilobits per second)
It gave me 2416 kbps

As expected since you are not connected directly to the Houston RR
network as I am.

What does that tell you guys???

You have a very high speed connection - or the test is not valid.
Warner Cable, the connection provider for the RR ISP in Houston, has
different performance connections. I am on one of the intermediate
tiers. There are faster tiers for business subscribers. Perhaps you
are on such a connection.
