I wish yall knew how excited I am right now, you have no idea! I live out in the boonies, where DSL is not heard of, except to us computer folk 
For 4 years now, I have been suffering with Direcway satellite internet. They finally got DSL to my house, got the 6mb package, actually getting near 7 MB according to speed tests, and HOLY SMOKES! This is a good day. I did a speed test on my satellite last night, here is the difference, unbelievable!

Todays DSL Speed test
I work from home alot, and have to dial into work, and over satellite, it is so sloooowww. Browsing the internet was much better than dialup, but still terribly slow. Averaged under 1MB
Its just instant now. Ok, I am calm....breathe...deep breath
