Is this just server traffic? If so where is the benefit of having more speed? It's like driving a Lamborghini on southern California..whats the point?
Who's your ISP?

I have Comcast and there was a point in time a couple of years ago that I was getting unreal download speeds in the 40's and 50's. Right now I'm back to 3.5 meg.

... Wait a minute... I think we were supposed to be getting the upgrade added on ... gonna call them today.
