Tom, I assume NAC's are the same thing as NACK's (neg*ACK).
Do CS and EE tribes use a different abbreviation? -P

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
You can go to verizon.com and they will tell you if you qualify for
FIOS which certainly faster than cable and DSL and less expensive than
COX for internet.

I know this goes against what the cable company says, and what we all
believe, but the last few times I've had a problem with my cable
connection I've had to use the opposite turn on order to get it going
again. Yes, I'm saying I turned on the router and then the modem.

I have never seen any DSL connection speed presented as an average
rate. It is usually presented as an up to rate, which is

My d/l rates with Comcast have been fairly consistent over the years. It's
rare that I find a large d/l much below the advertised 6 MB rate, unless
it's a server I know to throttle their outbound bandwidth.

Yep. The primary limitation of DSL is line loss. If I am the provider, I

You can have both, but after the AT$T experience I'd say dump it. The
problems you are having are not unusual..AT$T's motto is 'we aren't happy
till you aren't happy.' I didn't make that up, I stole it from a podcast.
If your cable modem is like mine it has several lights. One of them should

For getting cable set back up, here are some thoughts for simple steps:
1. Turn off the Cable Modem.
2. Turn off the Apple Airport Extreme router.
3. Turn on the Cable Modem.
4. Look for the Cable Modem light to indicate it is connected. On mine, it
is the cable light of the four.

I'm the furthest from an expert, but in the past have dabbled in both
