$34.99 is great. I pay $47 for Comcrap @ 3Mbit. We should have Verizon FIOS here in the next few months :) :)

nice dl, but id still rather have more UL. Ive got about 2mb down but i can upload at about 55kB (DSL). I wish comanies would stop updating DL speeds so much and update UL speeds.

divide thoes numbers by 8 and you get you max in KB/s

3079/8 = 384K/s

256/8 = 32 K/s

thoes are you line max numbers, you will rarley get that espeically on uploads

my upload was 384. 384/8 = 48 my max upload was about 40-44 before now it will hit 60

My upload speeds never get up to that anymore. Usually runs around 16-24 KB/s. I used to be able to do scorching uploads. 550-600. I had seen as high as 1024. I thought that was the way it should be. My download speed fluctuates, going as high as 450 KB/s.
I never paid much attention. Kinda like gas mileage. I can't do anything about it, so I don't check it.

NICE.

Most people don't need to upload at a fast speed like people on AT.
