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. ;) John W.
