As in all things, "it depends" ADSL by itself does not say what speed you are getting (or supposed to get). There's a cheaper version, limited to 384K down, perhaps as little as 64 or128kbpis upstream (compared with ISDN and its 128k/128k). You can get ADSL at 1500 kbps down, 384 up, but it will cost more, most likely. Go TO DSLREPORTS.COM, look for OUR TOOLS, look for SPEED TESTS, and see what you are actually getting (which is most likely less than the rated or advertised speeds 00 those are not guaranteed by most providers.
