Thanks Svdl :)

I went to my cable provider's website, and discovered that I am using what they call 'preferred service'...they state that I will get 4mbps {down} with that service...{and they add that I can download a 100 mb file in 10 mins} The other option is 'premium service' and costs twice as much..and runs 5 mbps.....

Now, I dont know where exactly they got their measurements from..but a 100 mb file would take me substancially {sp?}
 longer than 10 mins to download

So I ran a speed test....turns out what I am paying for, and am 'supposed' to have, and what I actually have are two different matters....Im running around about 3.31 mbps on average...sometimes lower. Nedless to say come Monday morning, they are getting a 'not so nice' telephone call >:(

As for T1..I was thinking that it was faster than cable??...what other options are out there besides cable?
