2mb AOL Silver - What speed are you getting

steveowen100

ive been with AOL for about a month and was getting dwonloads of about 1500kbs/2000kbps, but this week its been strugling to acheive 1000kbps. Ive spoken to AOL and they've said anyhting between 400/2000 is normal. Has anybody else noticed a drop in speed.

Thanks
