LOL :haha:
I know what u mean because I live in Astoria too,used to be 3 blocks away from the Co. but now am 10,000 feet which is still close,and always wonder the same thing,why are they so damn slow.
But I do love my Earthlink service and it would be hard for me to switch,thats why I hope that either TWC upgrade,and I mean upgrade ;)
or Earthlink gets to provide my internet through FIOS,which i hear is in the works.

BTW: a 384 Kbps upload is really annoying in the year 2005 Laughing

Your downloads are great, but even you have slow uploads. Mine's the same as when I had the 3000/384 package. Earthlink really needs to improve that.  evil

What modem do you have? I started off with the Toshiba PCX 2000 and it was cool until they went to the 5 meg download speed. Then I was having intermittent problems with my connection. I changed it to an Ambit modem & everything seems to be right in the world.
