Thank you, kind Sir....I will remember that

Ahh yes....the whole distance thing.. forgot about that. Does distance automatically raise your PING time as well?

Am I to assume that the difference is server related?

it's all in jest...for the most part. I will call your congressman and let him know of the digital injustices happening in MO. Maybe he'll listen to me . Maybe he won't . But I shall try in the name of Tommie Gorman!! ::::::::::..

Hmm...is that in CT too....or just in NY?

How much for the "1 an only"?

Wow, that DOES suck mooose ballz.....can you even call that high speed?

And this is the average for me even during peak times......I reminisce sometimes about when I had dialup.....I'll never complain about my speed. It could always be worse....just ask tommie....lol :::..

Telstra Bigpond Cable 17Mb/256Kb........says net.au...looks like Australia?

He tested from the 20 meg file...wonder if he SmarTested his way up and downloaded 12 megs in less than 7, or was it a one-shot?...and it just sucked!

Wow, 2 acres is like the universe to a homeowner....except mowing must either be a time consuming affair or expensive....or both.

I'm a city boy, but I'm actually kind of envious....that looks like stress-free living right there. If you want that here in CT...you (and your significant other) had better be making 6 figures or better.

this is what I get from speedtest.net....seems more unreal. But, different server..different results

Well, if that's the best you can get....I guess you're gonna have to go for it. If you ever have the opportunity to get cable though....pounce all over it!

Liberty, MO? Seems as though IT shoud be a little more developed than you're saying it is. And even so - you already know that DSL is limited by distance...you may not get the speeds you're hoping for if/when you do switch.

Ok, where in the country do you live?

it's an '01 Audi A4 Quattro - 1.8T...leather...Bose. Surprisingly good on gas too. And those speeds are quite real....you just have get away from that satellite, and get you some cable....or some....CA3LE?

As you can see, I went with my car....I suppose other things could have worked, but for now I'll keep it simple. :::..
