My downloads are never over 3kbs. Usually closer to 2kbs. I downloaded a
1.5MB file yesterday and it took close to 1/2 hour.

I cant even get DSL. There is no cable either. All I can get is a
satellite dish, and that would cost over $100 per month. They wont just
install it for internet, you have to get the whole package with TV. I
watch very little tv, so I dont need that.
