Yes your very right about DSL bottenecks. I have DSL for about one year. PacBell has agressivly been advertising. For the first 3 month my speed was terrific then it started to slowly erode. Now it is very inconsistant at times slower than a 28 k modem and very difficult to surf the Web at times, other times it is reasonable fast. I am unhappy with PacBell. From what Bob has said this behavior should not happen. I do not understand Bob's comment though about two dedicated copper lines. It is just the standard telephone lines and when the copper wires get to the telephone pole it is all common wires after that, or is it ? (: Wayne
