Re: OT: Why can't I have this speed at home?
The problem that I have with OOL right now is that I don't top out over 5500kb/s due to my Linksys BEFSR41 router which I've had forever. The Motorola Surfboard 4x00 series and supposively, the new 5100 do not like it's 10MB WAN port. Looks like it might be time to spend a few bucks on a new one. Otherwise, I'll top out at 700-800kb on almost all my downloads of ISO's. Most of the time when I need to pull the ISO's and want that extra speed, I direct connect from the modem to one of my networked PC's close to it for an hour or so and grab what I need.

| Linksys, that's half your problem right there.
I'd try going for a SMC. Linksys routers are, well. If you can't say anything nice. Their implementation of various standards and options is a joke. Their backplane is a bit pathetic as well.
Just my $.02
