Dennis, how the heck are you getting a 49meg download, and only a 312k upload?

This is the best I can do.

Don't know.

Shaw cable was here a week ago and did some stuff.
He said that the up-load speed is fine.

I'll go the shaw test now.

Maybe it's Canadian kb/s.

A different kb/s exchange rate than ours.

That seems a bit more reasonable.

However, It would be nice to have a 49 meg download, though.

Up and download speeds are set by the ISP. Customers have no control over it.

You mean if I plug my computer into a 220 volt outlet, my up and download speeds won't double?

That's still an incredible price, methinks, for a 3 meg connection. That's twice mine and I pay $43.55 a month. "Oh well", he said, with some disgust hidden deeply in his voice.

Here is mine, it is wireless internet for people out in the country. They put
a sending unit on top of the local elevator, then will come and install a
reciever on top of your house that recieves a signal. Kind of expensive at $44
a month for no faster than it is, but is better than paying for long distance number for dial up, and is faster.


Well I'm too ignorant to figure out how to copy it so 233kb/s download and 199kb/s upload.

Not too bad I guess. Comcast says it should be 6 mb/s and if I wanted to pay more I could get up to 12 mb/s, but I figure that $50/month is too much already.
