You know, xstuckey, the same thing happened back at the apartment where I used to live last year. My roommate, also an Intel employee, had a second phone line installed so that he could log in to work from home. This was supposed to be a line conditioned for high-speed data access, but every time we used the line, we could never get anything faster than 28.8 Kbps. Meanwhile I was able to get main "voice" line cranking at close to 40.0 Kbps.

We had kind of an inside joke about this. Since we both used the same second line for computing, if he has work to do and I'm just web surfing, he'd ask me to get off the data line. So I say, "OK. Guess I'll just switch to the high-speed line."
