By far the best answer is to disengage yourself from AOL. There are far
better choices for internet access.

I've always liked Earthlink.

My opinion.

I use Cox. Great service, few outages, very fast.

Here's the results of a speed test about two minutes ago:

2005-01-30 12:43:15 EST: 4398 / 506
Your download speed : 4503694 bps, or 4398 kbps.
A 549.7 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 518224 bps, or 506 kbps.

Can't complain about that.

JohnH,
What speed test did you use?

Just click the 'Start' button under 'Test your broadband'. I didn't
register or anything.

JohnH,
Thanks, I like how they give you the up speed as well. I've been using
the one through CNET and the download speed is pretty much the same. I'm
getting around 2774 up. I like how the site lets you search out others
in your zip and see their speeds. One fellow is getting 6000 from the
same server.

snipped

Do the test a few times in succession. My speed was in the 2700 range
once, and two minutes later it was in the 47-4800 range.

JohnH,
I just upgraded to 6M for an extra $10 a month. One computer sees
5800Kb but this one still sees 2800Kb. Something else to tinker with. :-)
