Well, that about cuts it.
My '3meg' speed is about 2500 give or take. And it depends on where I check it. If you went to CNET, they measure on the low side. Maybe the server is in Kansas or something.
My ISP is more than willing to sell me 6meg. But 'no guarantees'.
I can't get anyone to talke about SNR Margin or Line Attenuation, which measure how good your line is. They will be happy to take your money than provide the minimum service to keep you shut up.

I am told that line overhead is about 15%. So, your 'net' would be about 2400+.

I HATE the choices I have to make.

The biggest rip-offs in this country today....in no particular order are
Cellphone 'plans' and data services
Internet 'plans'. Bundle THIS' ....DSL / Cable / FIOS / U-verse
Gas Prices
Gigantic increase in Money Supply which will fuel future inflation. (The Fed)
Big Government...at all levels.

I'd really like a faster connection. Doom on me. I'm now stuck with either the Cable folks for maybe 60$ month! or U-verse which isn't any better.

Thanks again. Love your speakers
