Since you are a DSL user as well, what are you getting with these tests: Test 1 msn.zdnet.com (My DSL speed 168-366kb/sec) Test 2 dslreports.com (use IE for accurate report) (My DSL speed Speed 381(down)/373(up) kbps) I called tech support tonight, pissed off at this slow connection (366 kb/sec) the guy says for DSL that's GREAT and fast. Then says we guarantee 1.5 Mb/sec in their network. I surf on the internet, not just their network. I don't want to surf their websites to get 1.5Mb/sec. These test sites the ISP's put out are just their own networks speed and not real life speed. If I use their speed test site, I get 1.5Mb/sec. I guess they have a shitty backbone to the Internet. I use to be on @Home and averaged 1.5-2 Mb/sec (1,500 to 2,000 kb/sec) on the above test. Back to cable for me.
