My brother came over today and cleaned all the connections for my phone lines, bot inside and out. Since we got no connection improvement, he then called Bellsouth. The rep told him that I live pretty far away from the nearest switchbox, and confirmed that I should be getting in the teen-26k range, so I guess I am lucky to get the consistent 26400 connection that I do get. She said there is nothing Bellsouth can (or will...) do to improve my connection. She gave him 2 numbers, 1 for ISDN and 1 for DSL, that are supposed to be available in this area. Cable is going to be available here soon. It is only going to be $8.00 more a month than what I currently pay AOL. I haven't called the DSL/ISDN numbers to see what kind of prices they get.
