Howdy all, first time here..
I've done a few speed tests, but haven't recorded anything yet.
Like others I made the move because it was only option to 26.4 dialup and having to pay for 'Area Calling" to dial in to town 25 miles away.
Bought a used 360, and got in on the $40/mo starter plan, so the cost won't really be that much higher than the dialup ISP and the Area Calling together.
What few tests I've done have shown results of between 400K-700K down and 50K-70K up, but of course they vary quite a bit on time of day and atmosphere.
Nothing to about, but definitely better than dialup.
