That's what they did a few years ago ... assigned a different range of IP addresses that would be automatically assigned to this area (Lynchburg). I called just now, and they went through a lengthy process, including getting me to restart my modem ... then the speed went back up (new IP address) ... Then ... they said there was nothing they could do, because the speed was back up. I feel I have invaded this thread ... but the problem sounded the same. I'll retreat ... didn't understand what you wanted above ... a Google Search with "dig" and a speed test on Speakeasy? Its back up to: Speakeasy — Speed Test Test your internet connection speed! By measuring the download and upload rate from the following locations you are able to accurately measure your current line throughput or internet connection speed. Last Result: Download Speed: 733 kbps (91.6 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 125 kbps (15.6 KB/sec transfer rate) So I'll retreat.
