Funny, I've felt the DSL service we previously had (in
Easthampton) was much quicker/better than the Comcast
(Greenfield) we now have.

At any rate, my folks were having Verizon DSL issues
and the problem seemed to be the MTU setting (on the
router).    I lowered it to 1420 and that seemed to
help.

Here is Netgear's writeup on it (NB: we did not have a
Netgear router)
