When I was on the 1.5 mbps service, my connection tested at 1.2 mbps. Last year I got a free upgrade (

it can go both ways, but my DSL is wicked fast, and Lisa's cable, which is *rated* to be twice as fast, is, in actual practical usage, twice as SLOW. It really seems to be whether or not you get lucky with cable and get a pipe with few people on it. Not likely in a city.
we had DSL at our beach rental house before and had a good connection, and likewise with cable at another location....that being said what's wrong with a lot of people on my pipe? :confused;
