I am on a 600k line, thank fuck it is unlimited! I usually get a d/l speed of the high 80's. But I crave more speed!

I'll stick with this 2mb/256kb thanks.. unlimited transfer is more useful than it being much faster but can hardly use it due to limits



and yes I know other people use more than me..

Dan is right, even if my transfers are not THAT high (30 GB in download in a regular month), I'd rather have a slower connection with unlimited transfer volume than a 100 Mbit with a max volume...
