speed up the internet.

[Derek Trotter]

Doesn't 175 KB work out to around 1.5 mb?  That's about the rate I got 
when I had 1.5 Mbit from Qworst years ago.  It's my understanding that 
bandwidth is determined by your ISP.  The more you pay, the more you 
get.  With DSL the quality of the line between the phone company's local 
office and your home is the main limiting factor with DSL.  Of course 
the longer the line is, the lower the maximum possible speed is.  I live 
about 1000 feet or so and AT&T tells me I could get 20 Mb, but they 
don't offer that speed here.
