Hi Folks,

My ISP has just changed their DSL speeds and options. My current
DSL hookup is 78 kbps up and 132 kbps down @ $30 month. It seems
painfully slow. I can upgrade to 1 mbps down and 256 kbps up @ $45 month or 3 mbps down and 512 kbps up for $55 mo.

My other option is switching to Bell South DSL. For $33 mo I can get
1.5 mbps down and 256 kbps up or for $38 a month I can get 3 mbps down
and 384 kbps up, or lastly for $47 I can get 6 mbps down and 512 kbps
up. These are all standard rates and not promotions.

The numbers have little meaning to me. Can someone please advise
me as to the standards of DSL performance an average Old Guy on a
Pewter might appreciate without high speed gaming but little patience
waiting for photo's to download? Any comments from those more
knowledgeable than me (virtually everyone ) will be much appreciated.
Warm regards, Jim
