not necessarily, it depends on the rated speed of the service

i.e. 1 meg adsl should be faster than 512k cable

i have 3.2 megabit cable and right now i am dling 2 files with over 20 sources and i am getting less than 5ksec on both

i have gotten 700ksec from microsoft's ftp

if anything, adsl should be less expensive than dsl

adsl means that the upload speed and download speed are different (in all cases i&#39;ve seen, the upload is slower than the download)

dsl means the upload speed is the same as the download speed

adsl and dsl don&#39;t have anything to do with the companies who offer them, only the rated speeds

abu: how much does you pay for regular com cable?

Is it possible to get 24/7 cable connection while paying one time at once or
only per month?

Ok, I first got my DSL service over a year ago, and I signed up for a 1.5mbps downstream, and a 256kbps upstream service. Just a few minutes ago, I got curious if that was what I was getting for speed. I went to Sprint&#39;s DSL Speed Test (My ISP), and checked it. I got 504kbps downstream, and 302kbps upstream. I was like wtf? I talked to an online support person, and they said I&#39;m paying for the 1.5mbps, but I&#39;m getting the 512kbps service. They told me to call them and they&#39;d fix it. It just pisses me off that I&#39;ve paid for the faster service and only gotten the slow one for over a year (I pay it because my parents see no need for it). Does anyone else have 1.5mpbs down, and 256kbps up? I&#39;m just curious what your download speeds are when you download from like CNET downloads etc. (websites). I know when I download things it&#39;s at a rate of about 65kb/s.

you should get about 150-175 kB/sec downloads from servers and/or good sources

i&#39;d phone your isp and demand some money back, or free time anyway...
