I'm not quite sure what my connection is in the first thing you suggested Van.

I don't pay the bills so how much does a 1.5 cost hehe

How do you upgrade to this 3.0Mbps dsl and what is the cost that verizon gives?

I've run a lot of spyware and virus checks.

Connection is:: 1532 Kbps about 1.5 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB) Download Speed is:: 187 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (main) Test Time:: Wed Apr 20 20:52:51 EDT 2005 Bottom Line:: 27X faster than 56K 1MB download in 5.48 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 57.14 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-V9T51SAHM directly connecting to my modem with a ethernet cable gives about the same speed

I have Windows XP and have Verizon DSL and have done all of the things in the sticky posts.

I think I might be having the same problem

Oh yes, and I am using a Linksys 2.4 ghz wireless router if that's any help..?

I used that CableNut thing and did it right and it did not help me. Here are my download test stats: :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 1508 Kbps about 1.5 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB) Download Speed is:: 184 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (main) Test Time:: Wed Apr 20 20:07:00 EDT 2005 Bottom Line:: 27X faster than 56K 1MB download in 5.57 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 56.18 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-TVI7GU8LM So I'm running half of what I should be running.... please help me this is getting aggravating!
