Derek a delayed reply to your question about the line test results I get.

The results of my tests come back 80% of the time saying I should be able to connect at higher speeds and my line is x2 compatible...but is not that great, those are my words. 15% of the time it says there are problems but I may be able to connect at faster speeds and 5% of the time it say NO!...my line is not x2 compatible.
After about 30 line tests, tweaking software settings, changing jumper settings and much time on the phone to USR support & Micron Electronics support and the Telco working on the line a few times I still can not get a connection higher than 28.8. USR thinks there is something set up wrong with my PC and I tend to believe that. They think I should be able to get some improvement at the very least

In talking with the PacBell Engineer I know this, There is 5-6 miles between me and the CO not good, there is only one conversion, the lines between me and the CO are constantly having problem, last week my line failed due to corrosion and they plan to run fiber from about a 1/2 mile from me to the CO...if they do that I will be in great shape.
