Well at least now you're getting faster down that up. Although
very slow.
You need to check what type of service they have to know for
sure. Those getting 200-300 may be on a 512k service, but I
don't think cable goes that slow. Have you tried using
different browsers? That can make a lot of difference.
Perhaps you should have them send someone out.

I didn't call for a service man to come out.

It lost the formatting but the numbers are 1.8m down and 1m
up. According
to their report Phoenix is in a bad area. I was on the 27th
page out of a
total of 31. With 31 being the worst. On the 31st page are
several from
Arizona with downloads in the hundreds of kbps. I'm 1800 and
they were in
the 200 and 300 area. Guess I should be happy. <G>
