Don't be too quick to blame Adelphia or any other service provider because you do not always get the "lightning fast service" they claim. they are at the mercy of the server to whom you are trying to connect, and I have noticed download speeds on video anywhere from 20 something kilobytes per second up to almost 400 KB per second (Metrocast).

As our own hardworking and dedicated webmaster has stated in the past, during peak traffic periods, this server has had trouble keeping up with the demand.

With DSL, I'm told that distance can be a detriment when over about 5 miles to the switching center.
