The DSL service was upgraded.
Now running 4 to 7 megabaud (currently slow, only about 450 kilobytes

second). Not too bad for $29.95 per month LOL.

What kind of upstream rate do you get and whose service is it?

Right now it is running slow. My ADSL is running (at this point) only 3275
down and 318 up. The upload does not go too much faster than it currently
is, but the download rate varies considerable. I did get over 7000 one day
and it is usually over 4000. I do believe that my hard drive speed is
hurting the performance as it can only transfer about 1.5 MB per second.
Also, I am running the ADSL through USB 1.1 which means the transfer rate is
becoming substantial for that old port.

Yesterday, I was running about 450 KB per second as I downloaded Adobe and
Yahoo Messenger (I am still installing programs after a gasp reformat
necessitated by an ill-performing program. All is well, I'm just getting
programs re-installed

I am subscribed to Frontiernet. There is currently a lot of competition
between Roadrunner and Frontier. Both are offering bundled telephone,
Internet, and television (Frontier has partnered with Dish network). One
can end up with everything for under $100.00 per month )
