LUZR4LIFE Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I wish I could help you out but our main ISP here is Comcast for the fastest speed, then AT&T (DSL) and Earthlink which sucks. LOL. There is dialup but no need to swear. LOL. 20mb, OMFG that would be nice but it's not like you will ever see that. I have like 14 down and 2 up and I only see 800-1.2mb DL and 100-145 UL with Comcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUZR4LIFE Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 This is my speed:Comcast is the best here for speed and they have 2 plans here.Economy Internet Service: $24.95Way faster than dial-up with downloads up to 1 Mbps and uploads up to 384 Kbps. * No dialing in required and no tying up the phone line. * Download speeds that are way faster than dial-up. * The highly-acclaimed, McAfee Security Suite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sm0k3r Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 snakecrackerYou could always give Eclipse Internet a try I've been using them for a few years now without any problems. The only gripe I have is their fair usage of 50Gb download a month, but this only applies between the hours of 9am and 11pm, after that all downloads are not monitored.These is the speeds that I am getting with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Smartepants Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 DSL speeds depend on line quality/distance. Mine sucks. I always recommend cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
