Yes, it seems I have 1.5 mbps. :/ I'm not satisfied, and there seems to be an upgrade available, so I might do that. Thanks for the help and notification!

Yes, I have been reading the other forums, but I was wondering what exactly may slow down a connection. Here are my test results: Upload Your connection is: 243 Kbps or 0.24 Mbps You Uploaded at: 30 kB/s You are running: 4 times faster than 56K and can Upload 1 megabyte in 34.13 second(s) Member Ident:Username:pyrofirewizard Test Time:: 2006/09/30 - 8:51am Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/418.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3 Test ID: 8PNYEKZI3 (if this is a screenshot go to testmy.net to see if this is fake) Diagnosis ^info^: May need help : running at only 30.41 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) This was tested from a 579 kB file and took 19.55424 seconds to complete Download Your connection is: 1411 Kbps or 1.41 Mbps You Downloaded at: 172 kB/s You are running: 25 times faster than 56K and can Download 1 megabyte in 5.95 second(s) Test Time:: 2006/09/30 - 8:53am Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/418.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3 Test ID: 70UNBHZ1J (if this is a screenshot go to testmy.net to see if this is fake) Diagnosis ^info^: May need help : running at only 23.34 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) This was tested from a 1496 kB file and took 8.688 seconds to complete I'm paying about 30 dollars a month, using Westell 2200 and Verizon. Any ideas, help, redirections to another forum I may have missed? Thanks. (I'm new so if I did something wrong please don't be harsh. I do not intend to break any rules of the forum)
