Default Century Link free speed check

There has been considerable discussion recently about Century Link's high speed internet not being very high speed. Everyone can do a quick check to see if the Century Link signal is what it should be. It is a very easy check. Go to your web browser and after clearing the window, type in speedtest.net. In just minutes following a prompt or two, you will be given your Download speed and your Upload speed. With Century Link the numbers should be around;
Download 8.0 mbps
Upload 0.7 mbps

I was given these number by Century Link. I have had problems with very slow loading for nearly a month. My download speed is never above 4.1, but my upload speed is on mark at 0.69.

Century Link is certain that the problem is with Century link themselves and are sending a technician out to my home tomorrow to do a thorough check of the telephone hook up and other installation wiring.
