Thanks for all those links, Doc. That has already kept me busy for a while.
A lot of that material is from 2002, and I don't know if it applies or how. Also, a lot of stuff is on Alcatel but I'm unsure if it applies to my Alcatel 1000.
I just did some more speed tests at speedtest.net, this time from my laptop wirelessly. 9 hours ago I did a similar test from the laptop and I got around 4300 kbps. But just now the figures were far lower:
3293
3554
3421
3363
I hope this doesn't mean trouble. I was wondering if they capped my line at 2x what I had before, because all my tests since yesterday were just about that. Not sure what to think now, but still wonder if a cap is in effect.
