Normally, DSL should not do that. This implies that some bandwidth
is being consumed by NACs. The speed measuring sites do not seem to
register NACs.
Tom, what is "NAC"?
I just checked the DSL speed and it was 962 down...and less than a
minute later it was 2280 down. But no matter what, the cable is
staying 4 times faster or more even tho it too varies widely. Now, I
do pay a lot more for the cable....$25/mo for the DSL and $49/mo for
Comcast but the speed matters to me. I am used to downloading
podcasts very quickly and have not enjoyed waiting and waiting for
them to finish downloading with the DSL.
I just checked about the Verizon availability and we can't get it at
our address.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather
to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a
ride!" Have a wonderful day!
