What possible incentive would there be to lie about one's connection speed?

Just to settle any doubt, ran the BBR Speedtest a moment ago. Here is the result. Made certain the URL at the top is visible, so one could type it in, and see the results for themselves.

The promotional price is listed on the splash page here. Have personally been through several "promotional" periods (3-6 months at each stretch) - at the end of each, a simple call to Cablevision stating the possibility of switching to another provider has proven worth the time it takes to call.
