This post may have nothing to do with TWC and their Road Runner.  However, the event I'm about to relate occurred at about the time TWC began operating the net in my area.

A couple months ago or so, I elected to use Google's web accelerator.  At first, testmy.net indicated a big jump in downloading speed.  (Yes, I know the user is supposed to turn off accerators before using testmy.net's speed test, but I did it anyway.)  The speed increase, which I know isn't real per se, continued for a week or two and then stopped.  Just after TWC started operating the net in my area, the downloading speed reported by testmy.net increased substanially with the Google accerator on.
