That's strange, Carol. I saw the original post just fine. Maybe it's
something between them and you, like your ISP. Or, maybe there was
just a "burp". My speed varies between 200k and 1.8 mbs from hour to
hour, with absolutely no explanation. I even put a DSL splitter at
the NID and ran dedicated cat-5e for the DSL connection and it's
exactly the same. I lose my connection upwards of 30 or so times a
day somedays, and then go 5 or 6 days just fine. The internet, the
connection technology of your choice, and everything else involved
seems to be a combination of witchcraft, smoke, and mirrors as far as
I can determine.
