I just got off the phone with Adelphia and they said my measly 1.1Mbps was sufficient!!! Are they crazy??? I also just got a letter that furthered my saddness saying that they were increasing my speed from 3 Mbps to 4Mbps! I can only dream of having at least 3Mbps.. How do I correct this problem? There are 5 T.V.'s in the house, but I'm not sure if thats slowing it down. Would having a direct cable line from the modem to the block help?
