download seems to be better than the so called average for cable. I'm using a local cable company. called Cedar Falls Utilities. (http://www.cfu.net)

Download is better Shocked

Nice.

Upload is just above average, but still nice.

What is so bad about your ISP?

2 neg's really. the big one of course is they offer zip for dial up if say I was traveling in a hotel room (though some hotel rooms now offer high speed access free)

and virus protection is $5 per account we have 4. thats $20 extra a month. total of $70 a month.. right now it's $50 ($35 for the first computer $5 for each additional connection) 4.
I have it settled a little on mine with the Fix It Utilities from V-Com. Which scans the emails

What does this "virus" protection do that something like Symantec Internet Security doesnt? Is this an option?

which one? CFU or Fix It? Fix It uses the Trend Micro anti virus system. as well as email scanning. trust it more than Norton. Never could get McAfee to run. There was this one at http://www.free-av.com that isn't too bad. Although the registration for support is all in german. Shocked

no why is the ISP charging you $5 per month for "virus protection"? If you are paying some software company every month I suggest that you go out and buy some internet protection suit... Or call them and see if the offer a package of 5 licences...

they arn't right now... I've got my own virus protection for email. but I'm the only one that does.... technically. that is to say CFU offers virus protection, but I'm not taking it.
