      umm

      call your isp and have a technician come out to do a line check & signal strength check. He'll be able to tell if a cable is bad or a connector is rusty or loose, which could cause packet loss and/or collisions and therefore slow transfer rates.

      If they can't find anything they might at least give you a month free to make up for it.

        I've had about 3 technicians come out here already. Couldn't find any problems. Spent an hour with supposedly the top computer technician and he told me it was an internal problem. Tried 2 diff computers, 3 different NIC's, 3 different RJ45s...still same shit.

        I've already cancelled. Just takes 7 days for DSL to get activated....and I'm getting 100kbps...

        As for a refund. They only gave me 50% credit...

                Hmm. I got so fucking tired of DSL problems I switched to cable, and overall have been pretty happy. Check out:

                http://www.dsl-list.com/dsl_problems-west.htm

                Qwest is notorious for its poor service. I remember one night (you won't believe this) being on hold for more than four hours trying to get through to a techie. I finally went to bed without talking to anyone. That's when I decided Qwest DSL had to go.

                Prior to DSL, I had a satellite service (built into my apt building). It was FANTASTIC. Faster than cable or DSL and the same speed in both directions (upload speed is important for a content provider). Then, the fucking provider went belly up. Ouch!

                SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                  I've had a few friends with cable and no one has experienced anything like that, though I've heard if the cable is overloaded with subscribers like what happens in a condo or apt. bldg. speed can dive down fast during peak times, especially if you live in a bldg with lots of pornmeisters downloading movies and big pic files continuously or on one of the P2P networks downloading apps and MP3's all day and night.

                      I've been on Earthlink DSL for 2 years now with no problems. Almost 100% uptime, $50/mo, 100kbps up, 250 down.

                          I was originally on DSL but they put in this stupid 5gb download cap per month and each additional gig was ridiculous like $5...

                          Switched to a different company now..

                            wow, I pay $45 Canadian for DSL.
                            I think Canada had it first though, so our prices are cheaper.

                              go to Speed Guide . It shows you how to open up your connection. If you are using windows a lot of settings are set low........and depending on what windwos you use some settings are set for dial up. So its good to change them.
