Yes, the 180KB/s is the Set speed it runs at. It never goes any higher, but it WILL go lower depending on how fast the server is that I'm downloading from.

The Earthlink CABLE that I'm looking into claims that the download speed is 2.0 Mb/s. Which is what I was looking for. I know that it will probably be lower then that, but that's ok with me. It's $20 cheaper than the DSL I'm using right now for roughly the same speed.

By the way, here's a nifty conversion chart to go off of that I just found: (I did the earlier calculation in my head... hehe)
