As for me: 3Mb/512Kb DSL, upgrading to 22Mb/5Mb cable tomorrow

I dun know about all that stuff - I just click that icon that shows my connection and look in that box and see what speed it says. Sometimes the speed drops to 48M, sometimes to 36M, back to 54M so I assumed since it was not a static number that it was reading or registering something.
Regardless, it runs faster than my dial-up did and the basic intent of my response is to say that there are many variables that determine whether someone has a crappy connection or not - it is not a condition that is synonymous with U.S. Internet connections.
And, for the record, I have told many people that while it says that, there is no way it is running at that speed, but whatever it is running is a major improvement over what I use to have.
