I keep testing my speed everyso ofter and keep getting 1.9-2.4 Mbps but was getting 3.0 Mbps a month ago.  I test with bellsouth's speed tester (speed.fastaccess.com) and keep getting 2.8-3.0.  Its like bellsouth is altering their tester.  I haven't had a 375Kbps d/l in a while now.

Anyone else experiencing this?

edit: now even slower Sad

I have talked about my speed issues and their dns problems on my line but when I run their test I always get the right speed(don't understand that).  I'm not too worried about the dns problems as much.  My line never ping timeouts ever(I use an IRC client and never get disconnected).  I did use cablenut on my computer and I actually got 3.1 Mbps several times.  But this last month my speed have dropped to 1.9-2.4 Mbps.

Also, I'm going though a wireless router, but I'm LAN connected to it.

Well, I bit the bullet(nah just wanted to) and upgraded to extreme 6.0 and checked the static IP this time :/.  What scores you get on 6.0, can ya get better than rated or is the cap pretty much standard.

I'm d/ling allot videos so this will free me up a bit more.

Thats alright, but now when the new stuff comes out in a year or 2, my jump won't be as dramatic,  Maybe give a discount too.
