    not nearly that fast; ↔37ms, ↓2.86Mbps, ↑0.94Mbps.

    at least it's far faster than my last connection; cheap-o dialup on extremely old/degraded lines pulling between 14.4 and 9.6k.

    Nope not dial up. I don't know what it's called. There is a line of site type of antenna they had to put up outside. What is that? There aren't phone lines to my cabin or I would have gone with dial up...

    I got an F as well. I figured as much when it took 23 hours to load Adobe free trail. Slower than 86% of USA.

    sounds like a point to point wireless service like microwave wi-max (IEEE 802.16) or directional wifi (IEEE 802.11 with a waveguide antenna).

    JIC: maybe they use some sort of fixed throttling for load management?
