Most of America has "slow connection", to be honest.

Im currently running 1.57 mbps down and .57 up.

No, it's not. Ookla reports that the average download speed in the US
has jumped by 10 Mbps in just the last year. California is at 40.8
Mbps, the fourth-highest in the country:

Keep in mind that these averages are likely to be biased a little bit
high, because people with dial-up probably can't wait to do a test
with Ookla. g

But they agree with our experience. My guarenteed d/l speed is 50
Mbps. Ookla and several other speed tests consistantly report my speed
as just over 60 Mbps, which is the same result I hear from my
neighbors who are on our local cable system and are using the
mid-priced service, as I am.

If you're under 10 Mbps, you're sucking wind in today's Internet
world.
