Help...

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...

I'm in a college neighbourhood, there are 2 colleges here. I'm sick of their shit...already cancelled and switched to DSL.

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!

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 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.
