Sure, my connection is on the 5mbit tier, too bad i don't break 2mbit.
Perhaps worth noting is all before the telcos praise themselves too much. -- ....where's my fiber? |

Personally, I pay for 6mbit and get every ounce of it...

Then get the 3mbit package, and still receive your 2mbit. Dont get something your line cant handle. The telco can't control your modem syncing down to a lower rate if the line is noisy. |
