Stryker:
florida isn't exactly the closest state to washington. I believe in order to get to florida it would have to go through chicago or LA, there's no direct route, which would make your ping around 150ms, which isn't ideal for downloading.

Or is that the speed your isp gives you?

WMD:
My ISP claims to give me 1.5Mbps.  The highest I've ever recorded is 154k/sec.

And I pinged illhostit.com and got 129ms.

Stryker:
You understand that a 1.5mbps connection line will only let you download at about 150kb/s right? 1.5 mega bits, or 1536 kbps, 8 bits per byte would make it 192kb/s plus packet headers and such would put you around 150-160kb/s as the max for your connection.

I have a 6mbps line, and my max is about 760kb/s, and MrX has a 7mbps line apparently (from looking at his ISP's website, thats what it looks like)

Lead Head:

Yes.  And BellSouth sucks for it.
