HOLY HELL!!! WHAT ISP DO YOU HAVE?!!!  I pay $40 / month for my service through Cox and I download and upload more than that on a daily basis what with playing online games and testing freeware and shareware!!.  I'll measure my upload and download speeds for you right now - and this isn't even the fastest service available through my ISP.\n\nDownload Speed - 5065Kb/sec  (3354kilobytes in under 5.3 seconds)\n\nUpload Speed - 1290Kb/ sec\n\nSeriously consider changing ISPs, because yours is a ripoff.

DSL uses just your phone line. It's most likely ADSL - SDSL is a lot more expensive and not generally used by your average consumer.

My wife and I both had DSL in our own respective homes (through two different telcos/ISPs) before marrying and living together.  We've found Comcast to be a better overall type of broadband experience, though there seems to be an upstream cap on FTP at around 38kbps.

Check http://dsl.metrot1.com\n\nIt will check for cable, dsl, and satellite.  It will allow you to compare plans side by side, see specials, and sign-up online.  You can even get a $50 mail-in rebate for signing up.

JRV's answer looks great... but since you're only on a single PC, I'd think the onus is probably fair and square back on your provider.\n\nI GUESS this occurs at "random" times, rather than always when u r in a certain program, or doing a certain operation, or opening the same webpage ?\nIf so, sounds like simply a dodgy DSL line coming in - they SHOULDN'T cut off like that.\n\n(I'm in New Zealand, that may be slightly different, but probably not much.  My DSL line MIGHT cut off maybe once a month at MOST - and I'm a heavy user.)\n\nSo I suggest you DO ring SBC customer support... probably endure 50 semi-inane questions they'll fire at you, and THEN get them to check your line, or whatever they do.)\n\nGood luck - do let's know the outcome  :-)

Digital Subscriber Line, or DSL, is a family of technologies that provide digital data transmission over the wires used in the "last mile" of a local telephone network. Typically, the download speed of DSL ranges from 128 kilobits per second (kbit/s) to 24,000 kbit/s depending on DSL technology and service level implemented. Upload speed is lower than download speed for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and equal to download speed for Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL).\n\n\n\nBroadband is often called high-speed Internet, because it usually has a high rate of data. In general, any connection to the customer of 256 kbit/s (0.256 Mbit/s) or more is considered broadband Internet.

That sounds like a DSL speed which should not be dependent on other users in your area unlike cable. The internet is busier on nights and weekends so just slower in general depending on which sites you visit.

Depends where you are. \nWe pay 29.95 a month for Road Runner (Time Warner) which means we have Cable Modem fast and it doesn't take up our phone line, oh and they gave us AOL free too for as long as we stay with Time Warner.\n\nDon't listen to that guy down there, DSL is not as good as cable. Either one of them are better than dial up, but Cable is much better.

Hi \n\nOk , now thats a bunch of things at the same time :) First how much do you know about DSL lines as a whole ?

As service providers add people they sometimes upgrade central office switches, and that can cause slowness and unreliability for a while, then improved service later on. \n\nBut my cable connection has been rising in speed as Comcast decided they were not competitive and raised my speed while keeping my rates the same.  I've gone from 2MBit to 6MBit over the last two years, with the same $42/month charge.\n\nAnd you probably know that DSL speed depends on your distance from the local phone company switching office, but of course that has not changed so your speed should have been high all along.\n\nSometimes it helps to complain.  I called Comcast and asked if there was any termination fee on my line (knowing there wasn't), and they tranferred me to a "Please keep our service" group.  I told them I was very unhappy with the reliablilty over the last three months - which I was - and they lowered my bill from $42/mo to $29/mo, for 12 months, no strings attached.  So it may help to threaten to disconnect the service if you have real reasons to give them as to why.  No point in yelling at them, calm explanation of why you're unhappy work best.\n\nlastly, you should not be having to revew a contract - they should bill you month-by-month after the initial contract period is complete.  That's the way most DSL and Cable ISP's work, but I can't speak for Verizon - most of my DSL friends have SBC or Yahoo/SBC.\n\nGood luck..

go for the 29.95 plan on VZ DSL, if you want fast internet like cable... it doesn't slow down, it is da bomb... Plus they are coming out with fiber optics which is cheaper than cable and way faster than anything

Well along with your SBC Yahoo! DSL subscription you should have received a Router with built in wireless connections.\n\nYou will need either an ethernet cable if you are connecting wired [1 comes with package] or you should get a USB or Laptop Wireless card preferably D-Link, Airlink, Linksys etc. Look around local stores and internet for deals on these. Anything around $20 is a good deal.

I have Yahoo Premium for free as an add-on to my Verizon DSL account. This probably would be the case for SBC/ATT DSL as well.
