what are your D\L and U\L speeds? I have SBC DSL (which I really hate BTW) at home....and I am getting about 1.2 mb/s down, and only about 115-128k up (after I tweaked my registry)......but at work here on our T-1 line we are getting 1.4 mb/s symmetrical :banana: (no tweaks)

God, Yahoo SBC DSL sucks so much. When I go home to that from the T-1 line at school, I almost never use the internet.

I had comcast before I went to surewest. They were pretty good. The service was reliable and quick. I hate comcast customer service though.

Now I get crazy speeds I won't gloat too much though

by definition, dsl is asymmetrical for consumer use.

384 d/l is norm, while 128 u/l is what everyone gets.

guess that is to prevent users from operating servers at home.

to get higher dsl speeds, you have to pay more than what you are paying. heck theyh may bump you to their commercial dsl account...

Dammit I'm still dial-up at home too
That's why I'm addicted to school's T-1 connection. And that's why I'm always i-Clubbing from school
My buddy says I'm a hopeless Impreza maniac :banana:
