That is my actual speed according to dslreports.com. My ISP does not cap my speeds. It's nice.

I have DSL. I remember when I had 56k, and my brother and I wanted DSL so bad, but it was expensive so my parents wouldn't get it. Finally got DSL when I got a job. It's insanely better than 56k. Honestly, I would rather have no internet than 56k.

DS3 at work, Cable (3M/350k) at home

Raff,
I would definately call somebody if you have an unstable T1 line. I wouldn't pay that kinda money for it to be unreliable.

Sorry icallmedan but HCTC is stictly local. That's the good thing. If I have a problem I walk into the main building down the street and talk to the owner who happens to be a long time friend. Though I don't have to do that too often. The last time my cable was down was.... well I don't remember. I think it was over two years ago for about five minutes. That little company has everything from digital cable to their own cell phone service. I love being free from the evil giant around here... Comcast.
