Wow!  I _think_ that shows it running right up Miami...which means it is running right in front of our office!  Funny that all the times I've called TWC/RR asking to get better outgoing speed, they've never mentioned this option.  They probably don't even know it exists!

I've contacted Dianne...will report back with what I hear.
