What is your Internet Connection?

I'm on a 5Mb down, 384Kb up connection. Time Warner Cable, my ISP, keeps saying that, "[we'll] roll out 15Mb down, 2Mb up services in the near future," but they've been doing that for about five years now. Freakin' weasels.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Those other numbers have to be kilobytes per second, especially if you have a 1 megabit connection.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But it's better than nothing.

Can't your cable company run another coax line to your house to increase the signal? This is what had to be done for where I'm living now. (Or, is the signal degraded too much "at the curb"?)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This is DSL, I imagine?

Honestly, most ISPs suck immensely by way of crappy service.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

In which case there are a few possibilities:
First, the signal could be just strong enough to handle cable television in the area, but not the 'strain' of internet services.
Second, they might not actually own the lines themselves, which means that doing anything to them could be difficult.
Third, they're lying to you and/or unbelievably lazy.

I was speaking idiomatically.
