    Same here. My download speed hovers around 100KB/s, which is ridiculous for $30/mo. I'm fed up with ATT but there seems to be no better alternative.

    There are many components that could be making your internet seem slow.

    1. There are A LOT of people online. (Seems dumb, but it does have an effect sometimes).

    2. Your computer is slowing you down.

    -Try to delete cookies and any excess files you have laying around your computer.

    -Defragment your hard drive.

    -Restart your computer.

    i'm right there with you brother

    I used to have their "uverse" and it rocks for speed, but ping isn't any better (necessarily)

    now I moved out of that range and am stuck with their dsl, does your router reset a lot? i think they're scamming me, either way i'm P'O'd
