  19. I have not been so lucky. I usually get 21.6 K and the occasional 24 K
  20. connects. I upgraded hoping that I would get better connections. They
  21. have actually improved because the norm now seems to be 24 K with the
  22. occasional 26.4K connect.

  24. I was obviously hoping for better but am still happy with the
  25. improvement.
