Looking at the statistics you provided, it looks to me like you are on a
1.5Mbps DSl line.

I don't think you have a 10Mbps DSL line. Your computer may be reporting
the link to the DSL modem as 10Mbps but that is the speed of the
Ethernet connection, not your DSL connection rate.

I just tested my ADSL connection (Verizon Online) I'm in Pennsylvania,
just outside Philadelphia. I used the New York Speakeasy test.

Download Speed: 1460 kbps (182.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 358 kbps (44.8 KB/sec transfer rate)

I have a 1.5Mbps/384Kbps dsl line. These are typical readings that I get
and look comparable to yours.

Do you know what speed your DSL line is actually provisioned for?

Cheers!

John
