Must definitely be ADSL as I finally terminated my "fiber" and am getting speeds of at least this: http://www.speedtest.net/result/883976525.png <http://www.speedtest.net/result/883976525.png>(36.43 Mb/s down - 9.30 Mb/s up for those who don't want to click) http://speedtest.popp.net yielded much better upload results at 37351 kbps / 16265 kbps The latency is comparable to what I have with Comcast but the jitter I've noticed, so far, is drastically reduced.
