Did you ever go to www.2wire.com Cz? Go there and right on tip, click tht box that says Speed Test, launch the test and wait about 15 seconds and it will tell you what your speed is.

have you by chance tried a differant jack Cz? Are you sure you have filters on all youro ther jacks? I had an issue once, and I changed jacks and it doubled my speed. Then I rembembered why. I had split my pairs of wires, cuz when I rewired my office in what used to be a bedroom, so I removed the closet for space, added 110V outlets to have 2 -3 on every wall, and added phone and cable jacks to every wall etc. its now truely an office, I had 4 phone lines in here for fax machines, credit card machines, buseinss phone and persoanl home phone for my eBay business. I was using one of the jacks that I had split the wires. Also heard of people having problems with water in their lines, not the phone companies lines, but the house lines. Check all that out. IF you want to be sure, run a brand new quality line from your phone interface box and dedicate to your modem/router, even if your phone co line is jacked, you might be able to pick up some more speed.

I haven't tried any other jacks the only other one I know of is in the daughters room(not in use) and the kitchen. The phone guy said he filtered the line at the box on the side of our house. and put another one in the bedroom. so it when from a single to this one pictured(very krappily)

In the box van huh? I dunno about that... I timed it the other day and he'll do 0-60 in about 11 seconds. Not bad at all for a truck like that.
