Thank you to Ryan, Lynn and others that have responded. These particular
responses raise the question of "How does the DSL server get loaded down?"
My understanding was that the end of my DSL service was terminated with a
DSL modem at the switching office. Where are the multiple customers'
connections aggregated by a server? I assume that there will ultimately be
some sort of T3 line or such service the switching office and if it gets
loaded then all customers will see a slowdown. This could explain the
slowdown in my case since my first measurements were made when I was one of
the first customers in our area to get DSL.
Anyone have a comment or correction to my analysis?
Peter
