That piece got a few comments, and this was one:

The 113 speed may be due to TWC upgrading LA service for free from 50 to 100. However, doing the test with the DECA hardwire connection (and WiFi off), the results are about 14 down, 5 up and ping around 40. The Windows Ethernet adapter status shows a 100 mbps connection. Why is there such a tremendous speed degradation using DECA?
