Speed kills :-) There are few if any servers that will supply data
at the speed at this point. But you can multi-task, such as listen
to better quality radio over the internet and download stuff and
browse, without having to wait. I find a good DLS with 100kB/s dnl
(that's 768kbps) adequate. That's $15 around here. I'm on cable,
but unless they drop the price, that's where I'm going in a few
months.
BTW Verizon just annonced FIOS on my street for $35 - that's
5kbps/2kbps.

Not sure what you're paying, but I can't see how you can use that
much upload bandwidth, even if it's free :-)
