I currently have the 7 mbps download plan from road runner and I usually get
6.81 mbps all of the time on their speed test. Is there any way that I can
improve my speed to get it up to 7 mbps download? Thank you.

7mb is the theoretical throughput. In the real world, there is some
data overhead to manage the connection... Line noise, handshakes, the
quality of your modem/router/NIC.

If you are consistently getting 6.8mb on a 7mb line, that's pretty good.

Dude, that's good. Don't complain about it. If it was 7 KB/sec, then
yeah there's a problem.

Ditto. If it was 6.8 KB/sec, then that would be a problem. :D

I'm getting a 7 out of 10 on my "I don't give a fuck" meter.
