My first internet provider was Compuserv on a Dos 3 Ibm clone I used to check weather and some bulletin boards ; took 20 minutes to download the weather radar map from the Nat Weather Srvc.........

Now it takes me longer 'cause my lousy Comcast hookup is down more than up....

I'm only paying for the cheapest cable internet available, as you can clearly tell.

In my case, it's the only Internet available. Windstream DSL is my only option and the lines won't take anything faster. The good news? I'm the only one on that hub so I never have to worry about peak usage times.

I'm 10.5 up & 1 down.

It's funny. If you get just cable internet you get 20mb down, but if you add anything (phone,tv) you only get 10 down.
