AOL's servers decide to connect me at 30k!!!!!
3COM offers a free phone line check to see what your line can give you. My phone line goes though a couple of links that make it impossible to run at more than 28.8, no matter what is at each end. You might also be stuck. Now that I am on COX, no problem.

I am really unhappy that my monopoly cable provider can force me to pay for @home, instead of allowing me a choice, but it looks like this is being upheld by the government. This is going to be a major problem for AOL, and a good lock for ATHM. You have to pay ATHM for their portal before you can use anyone else's, if you use a cable connection. This will make ATHM the "Gorilla" of the cable connections, because they have it sewn up.
