My connection speed.
I need somone to clear somthing up for me. I have a Bellsouth Fastaccess DSL internet connection, which SHOULD be at least a 256k connection. I only looked really hard for the first time today, and from what I've gathered, this means that I should receive files to my CPU at least 256kb/s, right?
However, the test file my friend is sending me now over AIM file transfer says 26k/s, and its been coming in steady at that same speed for the past hour. This download rate is worse than a 56k modem users, isn't it? Can somone please tell me how to optimize my connection?

Tell me about it, I know Bellsouth sucks, Ive put up with them for years. Still, 256k would be the crap if i had even that. I'd love to get cable, I just can't afford it.... :( Anyway, can you tell me if there is a way to boost my download rate at all? Cause I should be getting more than 26k, thats just bull-blam!-.
