I ran each test after 11:30pm, and they cant say, "oh, its just the site", the site was google and the DSL, though slow, the results are fine. THEY CANT KEEP TELLING ME THERE IS NO PROBLEM... ITS THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD! Im in a bind, I game ALOT, its eather this, DSL that pings at 130ms and lags at all times, or dialup.

Vent... Over...

DLS with 130ms pings? I have a Speakeasy 1.5/768 ADSL account, and I can get 70ms EASY off a good server.

Well there's your problem: Qwest.

Comcast in my area has proven for some time to be a very reliable high speed connection. Sorry to hear you're having such problems. I actually had Comcast twice, but they got really pissed that I was downloading and uploading so much and running and email server, ftp site, and HTTP server. Speakeasy could care less.

Long live Speakeasy!

I actually know some techs here in the NW (PDX area). If you have problems convincing them, let me know and I'll put in a call.

"I Hate Comcast" - AMEN, BROTHER.

Im so sick of this monopolization of the San Francisco area. Theres gotta be a better company out there but i doubt it would have all the digital cable and phone lines and stuff packaged with it...
