I just upgraded my existing Road Runner turbo connection to their Business Class service and I now have 15Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream along with QOS to give my packets priority over the rest of the regular Roadrunner customers.
Road Runner Turbo - Business Class bandwidth test
Prior to this upgrade, I was getting 15Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream and so the extra Mbps of upstream is nice but I can really tell the difference in the QOS. I did a speed test to a server in Chicago and then to another server in San Francisco and didn't notice any drop in speed or overall bandwidth. Prior to business class Road Runner, there was significant drop-off in speed as you traveled further away from my location. Next step - static IP and then I can put the Linux boxes at home to good use

Competition is really a good thing - With AT&T breathing down cable based internet service, Road Runner has been upping the upload and download speeds on their Road Runner Turbo package. I just did a speed test and found my download speed to be 8.5 MB and my upload speed to be almost 0.95 MB.
Here are the results from speedtest.net:

Just signed up for something called Road Runner Turbo which is the faster version of Road Runner cable Internet service that is supposed to provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and up to 512 Kbps upstream. And the results don't disappoint - Here is my bandwidth minutes after the upgrade:
Here is the before speed-test snapshot I had taken a couple of months ago. The download is almost twice as fast and the upload is at least 100K faster and close to 500kbps in other random tests.
PS: Speed Test conducted using the Speakeasy Speed Test flash application.
