Well I'm basking the glow of 4Mb now that my drop is replaced and my new SB-5100 ($58 ebay) is online. Now the debate as to whether or not $15 more/mo to do 6Mb is worth it. 8)

My SBC download had been running slower that usual.  I also started playing
around with Tweakmaster (an internet speed enhancement utility)

So I complained to SBC and I am on the 3 preset (out of 6) of Tweakmaster
seeing which gives me the best overall performance.

Prior to this I had been in the ball park of 600 to 680 kbps (before I
notice a performance hit down to 300 kbps.)

Well looks like SBC actually did something about my complaint - I am sitting
here watching my DL/DU meter and I have been at 920 kbps seldom and 2.78
mbps. Average over 1.5 hours turned out at 2.01 mbps.

SH1T. If this holds steady I will be one happy camper.
