Bernie,

Are you using a router between the PC and the DSL modem?  I noticed a
coniderable slow down when I connected via a router rather than being
directly connected.

  Mike, really haven't noticed any slowdowns under certain conditions. It's
just slow all the time. The most I ever got was 405. My neighbor two houses
down gets up to 1.5 with the same provider. I've spent lots of time with
techsupport, but since it meets their 385, they are not willing to do
anything. I could go to the next higher service for $40/month and they
guarantee 1.5 to 3.0. With my luck I would probably get 1.5. Is that worth
another $10-I don't know. I have filters on all the phones and I have a
Cat-5cable coming all the way to the computer.  Bernie

disappeared. Have you installed those filters they gave you on ALL the phone
connections (and fax connections) in the house? I have SBC, and right now I
am getting 1536 K in and 384 out. Do you notice it any worse after it rains?
Sometimes they have leaks in the insulation around the phone lines, and you
get crosstalk on the wires until it dries out. The crosstalk confuses the
DSLdata, and it has to retransmit the data which means it takes longer
(seemsslower). If there is water in the line, they can and should fix that
upfor you. Bernie wrote: - I use SBC Global for my high speed internet

other broadband services are available to me that would also have free
