Many factors can influence the delivery of data, however, particularly once you are out on the Internet. These factors can include how busy the Internet is at the time, and how many hits the site you are visiting is getting. Another factor can be the kind of computer equipment you are using … while Road Runner will work as long your set-up meets the minimum requirements, the device with the slowest throughput along the path determines the effective speed. Generally speaking, users meeting the recommended requirements rather than the minimum requirements do experience faster speeds.
