My ISP = Adelphia. The area in which I live in has many problems, simply check: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/adelphia The post with 700+ threads is where I am. Basically, each thread from their service only gives you 10-20KB/s. To get any decent speed while downloading, you must download in parallel or split the file up.
