Now the next step is to try cable...........that's wake you up in a hurry <chuckle> I was one of the early adapters for DSL when it first came out in Cincinnati. I had a fairly good connection, but it actually degraded over time. About three years ago, I did a side-by-side comparison with cable. My cable is 6641 Kb/s download and 471 Kb/s upload - the download on my DSL was around 375 Kb/s.
