hmm..well I was just looking through some mail and actually took the time to read the advertisement from AT&T....they talk big numbers with their internet service..uh huh...and this brings back to mind the time a salesman came to my door and tried to get me to change over....yeah....they talk big numbers....but...BUT...there is a little game I think they play..I talk in MB/s (bytes)...they talk mbps (bits)...there is a factor of 8 difference!....

so if you used to have a 2MB/s package and now have an 8mbps package you are actually SLOWER!...by a factor of 2!!!!!
