[QUOTE="Star*, post: 139431, member: 4964"] Ct mom - it has very little to do with speed - it DOES however have EVERYTHING to do with HOW CLOSE you are to the DSL tower that transmits - You can be just 'in" the area but the signal is weak and this would cause you connectivity problems. I have had dial up - then DSL light - then ROadrunner - and back to DSL light (I hate Time Warner with a fervent passion) and now I have DSL medium. When I had DSL light - I had TONS of problems. Constantly got kicked off, wrong port - etc. Went to Road runner and had no problems. Thought HUH! Then they put up another tower closer to our area and BINGO - even DSL light worked....just not great for music downloads.....DSL medium is good price and does what I need it to do. Call your phone carrier - and ask them how close you are to the tower for your area. That may be your answer. [/QUOTE]
