Funny enough was talking to my girlfriend earlier today who is at home on sick leave. Heard her brother swearing in the background and it turns out his Internet is terribly slow, so much so that he can't play 12sky online. It takes like 5 seconds to move anywhere so latency is baaaad atm. :(

When I get home I will test both Verizon and Saix.
 
Yay! getting 800bytes a second on my download... :D
Lets hope it get's fixed soon :(
