i have a slow dsl speed also, 1/2 of max rate.

at this time, i am not doing a lot of downloads that i need full speed, i have
not tried to find problem, which does appear to be software related.

i am using a 2wire 2701hg-b on bellsouth.net and have check speed with
speed test provided by both.

  http://speed.fastaccess.com/

if you have need of independent testing, i can suggest;

  http://miranda.ctd.anl.gov:7123/ no special software
  http://speedtest.net/  requires flash 7 or higher
  http://www.dslreports.com/stest/0  requires flash 8 or higher

i will be following along with your thread to see if suggestions are of
help to me and respond back.

thank you for your post, it may help end some of my procrastination.
