heh... i don't care what this connection is, or whether it's consistent or not... i'll be going back home to my consistent 2400 in 3 weeks  :-X

actually... come to think of it... 3 weeks.. please stay consistent... lol
but btw, did you also notice that the first one was a lot closer than the second one? i think this is consistent, but just sucks over long distances.

reaper_tbs, I got mixed up on who had posted the two widely differing test results, since Richenstony included your test results in a quotation.  Yep, you're the one with the inconsistent tests, not Richenstony. 

Have you tried running tests over a number of days to see whether there's a pattern, such as better speeds at certain times of the day?

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

COL.  I grew up on a dairy farm.  Apparently, you're not really far from an city or town.  My brother farms; neither DSL or cable is available there.  They're stuck with dialup.

Personally, I'd avoid AOL.  But, if you really think it will work better for you, it's up to you.

        Well, it depends on one's region, really.  Broadband is a lot cheaper in some areas.  In my area, however, that is not the case.  I currently pay US$10 for AOL...upgrading to broadband would be about US$45 ($5 cheaper than it was several months ago).

        Heh, you have no idea how nice it would be to fly out to the UK for a bit right now.  Especially if I got to bring a certain someone along with me.
