Download manager says that speed and the downloads are finishing that fast.

I'd say it was a flaw with download manager, I don't think you have a 1mbit line, I think its a 1.5 mbit.

Switch to bellsouth because you consitently get 3.1. Cable is too insecure and inconsistent.

did you do anything to get the 3.1, or is that just a fluke
