I have read many of the dsl posts at this site, but have not come up with a solution for my problem.

About 2 months ago I bit the bullet and switched from dial-up to the bottom tier of Verizon DSL.  I thought I was happy with what I was getting until I visited a friend and found that our internet response was not the same.  They also had the bottom tier. 

I talked with another friend about it and he came over and ran the Verizon DSL speed test and then I really became unhappy.  It appears as though I am getting 784 speed at the modem, but only anywhere from 120-211 speed at the computer.  I've contacted Verizon and they led us through some tests and verified what we had already found.  They told me I had a computer problem and to contact Dell.

So.....  here I am again....  I am looking anywhere I can to get help.  The rest of my computer works fine and I am happy with it.  However, sometimes it takes what seems like forever just to go from one email to the next.  Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks, Emmett
