i guess i\'m lucky when compared to some of you ADSL users, i get an average of 145k/sec download speed which is pretty consistent, but my upload sucks balls, lousy 12k/sec. i would have bought cable, but it wasn\'t offered in my area at the time, so still using DSL, its good enough.
on a side note, at my parents hotel, we have the "advanced" DSL from SBC, wow, if i test my bandwidth at broadbandreports, i get an upload of 330k/sec, and a download of 5200k/sec, not all that bad ($100 a month service however, free modem and install).
