I think you have that wrong, 20Mbps is more than most folks have
downstream. ADSL typically has something in the 256Kbps-512Kbps
upstream.

You are absolutely right! I got so used to thinking
in terms of mbps when I had cable that I forgot to
change my mental units back to kbps. We have
1.4 mbps down, 20 kbps up.

QWEST offers 1.5 service, and I experience 1.2mbps down and 700kbs up.


The "lousy ADSL" stands though. :-/

Lemme tell ya, it beats Starband sat latency all to hell.
I'd love a free T-1 or ADSL2+ (24mbps) setup.
I'd be willing to share a free OC192.
