Speed is decent +- 6meg down on average 1 meg up. Forget dial-up. Almost all of the websites are now too bloated for it to work. |

I go from dial up to high speed and the websites take up all the improvement with cookies and banners and popups and ads that stalk me everywhere. It's like I am subsidizing their abuse. The banks, credit card companies, and paperless bill paid vendors all benefit, but I find myself playing solitaire waiting for a page to load just like the 'good' old days. |
