Hey, I'm smokin' Just got DSL
Now I feel like going online when I am home. I have T1 at work, so dial up at home was not cutting it for me.

I'm happy! :bounce:

1. Kewl!!
What speed? What provider?

I use Qwest 256k, for $30/mo. Thanks to switching Web site providers, I can now afford to go up to the yummy 1.5M/876k plan. :9

3. Website link
http://www.dslreports.com/stest

You'd need to run many tests over a many day period to get a proper average. But it'll be more consistent with DSL than with cable...

4. I am on the east cost
I need to get Tool Points to check. But I would think I am going pretty fast. I have T1 at work and this is not much slower, if at all.

5. Once you go high speed
you wonder how you ever did without it.

Congratulations!

7. my speed is 756 /128 K
but I noticed that for new signups they're offering up to 1.5 MB (I know mine falls on the up to 1.5 mb category, just want it a bit closer to 1.5MB :)). I got to give them a call.
