Re: [TCLUG:19294] DSL/Cable service

["Thomas T. Veldhouse" <veldy@veldy.net>]

A friend of mine is using Charter in Apple Valley.  It is much faster than
dial-up - but he is seeing 18KB/s downloads - which is far slower than what
they advertised (I believe it was advertised as 400Kb/s ~= 40KB/s).  He is
getting less than 50%.
