I contacted NetZero. They say I should get "up to" 1.5 mbps in download speed - which is quite a difference from 79 kbps. But, they also said I share a line with other subscribers so my download time could be slower - and my speed could be affected by the distance from the main server (which he could not tell me its location).

All of this would be telling if I hadn't, initially, gotten faster LimeWire download time with the same server.

This stuff can get complicated.

I don't think I would except that...Because when you did a linespeed test it's not testing your limewire download speed, it's testing your overall speed and your ISP is responsible for that...
I would ring them back and strongly suggest that they supply the speed you are paying for in your contract or offer you a discount or let you out of your contract so you can go with an ISP that will deliver what you pay for...
Stand up to them...

Yeah, I told them I wanted to cancel the service and the rep gave me a month free. All I'm really after is faster downloads with LimeWire.

Looking into going with another ISP but don't want to fall for some hype promotion and wind up with the same slow downloads.

Good on you at least you got something...
If you do decide to go with another ISP make sure you do some research, there are so many that shape p2p so bad to the point you can't even get a connection...
