The first day we had DSL in my hometown, we were one of the first customers that had it. Me and my brother downloaded at about 1-16 MBps. Ha ha, my brother downloaded a porn movie 3 times in a row to make sure it was going at 16 megs per second, and it was. I tried it on the other end of the hub and it worked as well.

Unfortunately, the DSL in our area is now capped at about 150 kBps down. Blah. Oh well, beats the hell out of dial-up. Here at ASU we have around 300kBps-1.5 MBps average down. Going from ASU to DSL is like going from DSL to dial-up. It takes some getting used to!
