Holy crap that's quick. Are you signed up with that 6mb/sec plan or something?

I had SBC Yahoo DSL. It sucked. I topped out at 80 kb/s. Its all about location. If you are near the central office it is going to rock, if you are far its the suck.

I've got 5mb download and 500k upload, but for some reason my DSL either craps out or slows down if I get on the phone. Hopefully the tech tomorrow can fix it.

I have earthlink dsl and am approx. 12000ft from CO. My sustained dl speed is 175k/s. Upload is about 230k/s. 1.5/256 plan I think this is pretty good considering how far away I am. I've been emailing them to see if they have any plans on upgrading this service to something faster like some surrounding competitors and haven't received a response yet after about 6 emails and 3 weeks.

230K/s upload?! :confused: @ 256 you should get something like 23-30K/sec - Atleast that's what I get! (Typo?)

:confused:
