Thought it might be interesting to see how good or bad our member's connection to the internet is.
DSLReports has a few good speed tests. Use the Java based test here to get an image like the one I've attached.

I have Roadrunner Turbo as well. I don't really think you are getting shafted.
In my area the difference from regular to Turbo is from 7 Mbps to 15 Mbps in download. You are definitely over that, and have a very nice upload as well.
If someone closer than Jim and I in your area has faster downloads, you could mention something to them. As you can see Jim and I have a little under double your download speeds. But that could very well be because of the area. And since you are getting over the advertised 15 Mbps, they would probably say there's nothing to look into.

Clearly a big difference between the tests, the people above should post the java based one.

The last test ran on DSLReports shows my download is slower than my upload, when both SpeedTest.net and my provider's speed test site show comparable results to the one I posted above.
