Not sure about the speed.  My line is indicated as "up to 1.7Mbit" and I
don't think I have passed 1.0Mbit yet.  I suspect my line though given I
live in an old appartment building on the 21th floor, with terrible
wiring in the walls, so I am not that surprised.  Seems rather reliable
so far though.  Still over 10 times faster than my 56k modem was so I am
happy.
