So my ISP is Road Runner in NE Ohio and I currently have their Turbo Road Runner Package, which is an advertised 15Mbit connection with Power boost<--(Power Boost is LAME lol) anyway, I checked my internet just a few minutes ago and im getting >1.5Mbit, but Im getting my advertised upload of around 1Mbit. Now I thought it could maybe be a weak cable signal but thats impossible, currently my home is wired like this:
I
I (Unknown Length)
Cable Into Home
I (Prob 100ft ish? Has to go through attic down to living room) (Unknown Type)
2 Way Splitter
I(5 feet if that) I (30 Ft) (Both of these are RG6)
HDTV | Cable Modem

Splitting the Line once isnt going to do it ><

Should I call them? If I call them what are they going to want to do?

I have tried direct connect to modem and through my router and still same results, kinda at a loss at this point

Please Help
Wasted

Just because the service is rated for that speed doesn't mean you will get it. Just like with Ethernet being capable of 100 Mbits, and USB 2.0 being capable of 480. I do however think you should be getting a little higher than what you are. If you do call, I bet they ask you do restart your PC and modem, wait a few mins, then see how it is. All you can do is try.
