If you are seeing the same sync rate at all times and are not having any sync loss you must understand that a speed test is only a single snapshot of your speed to that specific server and there may be other network traffic affecting it. It is completely normal to see a range of results. It is not normal though to suddenly see all speed tests showing a slower speed and it never going back up. The Internet is just like a freeway that can be wide open at times and have bumper to bumper traffic at other times.

1 edit | said by stombujotz:How do I find out if I am able to do the same thing?? You go to the Covad PreQual page and if they offer 3.0 or faster package called "ADSL (Telesoho)" to your address/telephone location then that means they are in your local CO and you might be able to get reprovisioned over to them through Earthlink (no you don't call Covad, you call Earthlink after you find out availability). However, if they do not offer that package to your address/telephone number, then you are connected to a CO that Covad does not service meaning they do not have any required hardware co-located in the CO.
