My download speeds with Xplornet range from 12kb/s to 116 Kb/second :!: I pay
$84.00/month for this. This is still faster than my download speeds on dial up
but when they send me to a speed test site I come around 800 Kb/sec but when
I test on other test sites I am getting between 450 to 600 kb/sec that's not even
