Ok... is your service something like 4mb download?? or 3mb download??  Even though you hear them say 70 times faster than 56k...   The part that they dont tell you is that it is up to 70 times faster

Not to mention the fact that they used a higher speed for 56k than attainable by most, thus claiming to be faster, while the cap is set lower.  Mad

I thought that the FCC still doesnt allow true 56k.. only 53.6k... My guess is that they are using something in the mid 6.0 kbs for the download stat...

I hope thats a typo, otherwise you're getting almost 1.5 times as much download as you pay for.

Keep tweaking.

no not a typo, but this was from a while back(like maybe 5 or 6 months), now they might have raised the bar
