Here are some links to other Ascend message boards for you to post on while I grab the 40000 milestone!<g> I noticed Gary and Sector have become competitors of late. This is for them to. ragingbull.com fool.com; messages.yahoo.com Latest from Yahoo: Asndingguy, I have seriously considered doing daily option plays -- Here is the scoop. The Mar35 has gone from $2 to $1, or almost for the last week. by 10 to 10:30AM ASND has hit its peak and then drags down, and the price of the option with it. I am thinking about selling options in the morning, for at least 2 and putting in an order to sell at 1 1/4. grabbing a quick 3/4 on a good number of options could be profitable, especially for 3 or 4 days in a row!!! but I always get a bit nervous/cautious when people like Tim Luke start talking about imminent buyouts. Why gain 3/4, when a $10 move can happen??? I'm quite torn and will consider this all weekend before deciding on monday. Jeff

Glenn, During peak times during the work days, 2Mbs is about all I get. I again to not know if the bottleneck is the server, the Sprint backbone or on the local loop. If you consistently get 2Mb of throughput during the day to your local server then I'd wager that your "network segment" (the one you share with everyone else) is a significant performance bottleneck. There could be too much traffic or retransmissions due to errors (that only show up under higher load conditions). To be sure try the file transfer multiple times over different periods of the day so that you can reduce the possibility that it's a server problem. Be sure to write down the performance figures each time. A pattern should develop and you can then present the results to your ISP. They may or may not be able/willing to do anything about it. Steve
