seem to have doubled again...getting over 5Mb instead of 2 on a Telmex basic package.

I have the same package but haven't noticed yet. I'm going to pay more attention the next time I'm online at home. This IS good news, indeed!

My LAN says it's running at a 100Mbs but I don't believe it. I've been trying to upload a photo for over an hour.

I have a Telmex basic package too, and I haven't noticed any increase in speed. Guy, how did you find out that it has doubled?

I download movies all the time and noticed it was coming in at a ridiculously fast rate.

So I did a quick test and found that yes, it is indeed much faster.

Telmex has doubled speeds every 18 months or so...I started with a 500k connection that went to 1Mb, then to 2 Mb about a year and a half ago. Now it's 5. Cool

Thanks for the link, Guy. I'll check it out. Since I never download movies, I don't have that to use as a guidepost.

(a minute later) I did the test and my speed is up to speed, around 5 MB.
