so... you're not a virgin anymore?


[did you call them up and tell them they aren't providing what you contracted for? and you will stop paying unless it is fixed?]

Should I complain to AT&T U-Verse, or is this okay for a wireless router into a laptop?

No mo Virgin!
I dumped them yesterday and told the rep. about their chit-rag service - he didn't care...some dude in Manila just tryin' to earn a living.
That's another thing...for years I would hang up and call again trying to get an English-speaker...no mo!

BTW, I'm paying for only 12 Mbps...but comparing it to Virgin...it's fast.

Basically, what this means, is that you are running a 12mbs download. That is pretty quick, basically what you would get if you had a fiber to the home installation. The upload speed could use a bit of help though.

I finally gave Cox the boot and went with Uverse, saving $60/mo for better tv and slightly slower Internet (20 MBPS vs 30). Cox was fast but had frequent connection issues, and their bill went up a few dollars each month. They were totally indifferent until we cancelled, too late a-holes!

AT&T DSL here in my rural hood and it SUCKS! I wish I had options.

Looks like the cable companies are providing the fastest service?

Try going to command prompt and do a trace.

Go to start, in the little search box type "cmd"

Hit enter at the prompt, type tracert pelicanparts.com

or whatever internet site you are looking to go to google.com, hotnakedcheeleaders.com, whatever. This will tell you how many hops and how many milliseconds each one takes. As I understand it, it goes from your computer to where ever you are going, and jumps from server to server along the way.

That 0.86 is kind of slow.

Yup; sharp eyes Steve -- not too many people know J.D. Power & Associates is part of McGraw-Hill Financial. How'd you know?
