1000 Mb is a gigabit. I don't think your dsl line is capable of dishing that out.
Do you have some other machines you can use to test on the same line?
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I had the ISP tech guy come out and he connected his XP laptop via ethernet to the modem and showed normal speeds.

Here is another thought. Can my neighbors' cordless phones have the range to affect my wireless? Our house has 2.4ghz cordless phones, and I do notice the speed loss of wireless …
I went back to using the Airport Express. Did a little research and wound up making some changes to settings like Channel, Multicast rate, Interface Robustness, and enabled MAC ac…
You have 2 options:
Go to versiontracker and find software that will allow you to pull your music in reverse direction back to your new machine.

Right next to DSLReports' speed tests are their Java-based Tweak tests. These tests will determine whether or not your particular computer is set up to efficiently use the availabl…
That tweak page is pretty unclear in its instructions for Mac OS X, and I don't trust that which I don't understand. As for downloading an app whose instructions are in Japanese, w…
As it says on the Mac FAQ page, this little application is pretty self-explanatory. And besides, all the controls and windows of the app are in English. If the Tweak Test says to…
Skeptical at first, I went ahead and downloaded the app. There's this nifty "Optimize" button that chooses better settings for you. You hit apply and indeed, your connection immedi…
