I upgraded my BellSouth DSL service to DSL Extreme, which includes a static IP address and promises speeds up to 3000/348 for only $5/month more. I eliminated an optional service which was costing $5.50/month, so I’m still paying the same amount. I tried a few speed tests and I now see speeds of about 2300/304. Not quite the promised speed, but better than 1500/256 I had previously.
