This piqued my curiosity. I am "know nothing" musician, wondering what sort of connection I have, 
and so I tried this link with my Earthlink cable connection and the test returned:
2336.8KBits	292.1KBytes (30.812 secs)

Hmmm. And you're talking about the 15mbs neighborhood? Would anyone care to comment? Am I 
getting the best that cable can do? Should I be shopping around for a better setup? 

Thanks for any and all input.
