[PLUG] dsl speeds

[Jason Dubrow]

Yeah, 98KB including all the fun network overhead....that is what I
figured...  I think I'll have to investigate why I am only getting
49KB/s on average.  Maybe I should upgrade my router to a 486
<grins>....sings....its been a good life 386....get the hell outta here!
Wait a minute, I was getting 140KB/s+ in the dorms with the same setup!
Anyone have suggestions?  DSL company overhead?  Distance to their end?

ah well, guess its better than my 56k modem...hehe
