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?

Bellsouth is a POS. Get cable. 256kb is worthless compared to a good 3 or 4mbps. He can't upload as fast since the connection is asymmetric.
