I’ve got a rare Alltel grandfathered contract which means I don’t have a 5 Gig monthly cap, and pay $60 a month for 65KB down.>>>>>>>

How is 65K broadband? I don’t get it. Dial up is 56k

I should be getting faster speeds, but I don't. I get 65kiloBYTES, not kiloBITS that dialup sees.

As I said, the VZW tower I use sees very heavy traffic and I'm in what they define as a "low priority" area. Phooey on them. There are plans to bring a new tower/site just two miles to my north but no ETA.
