I'll do a test tonight.

From what I have been reading online, if a vdsl profile is available to you, you could get up to 26Mbit pipe to your house, but only 15 (speedtest shows 15) is usable for the internet, and the rest is allocated to your tv. (Don't quote me on this, just what i've read) Of course your tv takes bandwidth away from your internet if it needs it, but I have been downloading from usenet at 17MB/s constant for the last few days, it dips down a bit when the tv's are on.
hey c_loke, i know this is an older thread but is there any way you can still do the speed test for us?

seriously considering to changing to optik cause of the promo right now, but just a little iffy on internet speed with tv running.


also what do you guys think of the promo on right now:
Optik TV Your Pick HD (3 year term)
FREE HD PVR rental
Optik High Speed (2 year term)
FREE Xbox 360®
$65/mo for 3 months ($112/mo. thereafter)
