Yeah there a way to increase your connection speed but it will decrease the size of your wallet . Upgrade to a faster connection with your company and they charge you more money, I wouldn't if the connection you have now works now, than why pay more .

DSL for now
I am currently running the basic Verizon DSL...it has been fine for most play and I have only noticed lag in a room maybe 10-15 times total. I am also lucky because by Mid January I will have my Verizon Fiber optic lines hooked up and will be flying !!!!! Thats right! minimum of 3MB up to 30MB!!! tranfer speeds...the best part being that I am already a verizon DSL customer so it is a free upgrade!!! yahoo...Fiber optic internet is going to rule all!

How much do you pay for Comcast? I might look into this if it is available in my area.

Ha, I would get Comcast but it's not available in my area. I've got the fastest connection in my area now and it's only half of what Comcast offers.
