60 K BYTES / second is consistent with 500 kbit upload speed... however... that should feed up a 3 
meg byte file in ... about 50 seconds.  Hmm...


It might be time to call up my provider and move up.  10 mbit is only an additional $5 IIRC.  They 
wanted $25 to move up to 16 mbit which I thought was unkind.

I used to have 10 mbit but my provider tried to jack my rates from $160 for the full package (phone 
/ internet / tv) to $230.  I called up and threatened to bail on them if they didn't reconsider and 
I ended up dropping to 5 mbit in the process.  I never really cared much until now.  The only place 
it affected me is when I ftp large client files and even there I don't care if it takes 1/2 hour or 
1 hour.

However 50 seconds to view a single picture is not reasonable.  My mom is already old, I don't want 
to be responsible for her dying while waiting to see a picture of her grandkids.  ;)
