Looks like your getting close to what you pay for, but both are a little under what they advertise you getting, but its not enough to complain about  Very Happy . It is what you pay for, but no it's not normal for DSL lol.

I dont think youll get much over what you pay for, the only connections I have seen over what they are rated is Cox.

you are going to make fun of me....lol but it's nothing compared to satellite $45 and I'm in a 1 year contract but that's ok because CenturyTel doesn't lease their lines to other ISPs and there is no way in hell I could ever get a cable line out here or go back to satellite

also while running NetPerSec I get around 1.4/210 while doing a large upload or download and on my downloads I average around 170 kB/sec or above so all seems good before I wouldn't even notice on my downloads I just knew it was faster...lol
