Me too. Even when I haven't asked for it and something comes across . . .

Okay, so how do I tell if that's my problem? My ISP changed our DSL link to
a different piece of hardware and the speed went from 6896 to 640k, the
Qwest default. They've fixed that, but it still appears that my downloads,
though much faster, are still not what they were before the move, even
though the older equipment only allowed me to train at 6896 instead of 7168,
which is what I'm trained at now.
