Better than me. Mine were awful at home and college 30 minuts away. 
Connections were mostly at 26400. Lucky at 31200. It didn't matter where 
and how good my modems were. Average was about 3kBs for compressed datas 
in downloads. 

Also, I couldn't get DSL. I could get IDSL, but that was like 144 Kbs 
that costed over $100 IIRC back in the 2000s. And then Excite@Home with 
Adelphia came among. It sucked too until it became DOCSIS complaint and 
had a complete digital makeover. :/
