California Legislature Declares "Cuss-Free" Week 262

shewfig writes "The California legislature, which previously tried to ban incandescent light bulbs, just added to the list of banned things ... swear words! Fortunately, the measure only applies for the first week of March, and compliance is voluntary — although, apparently, there will be a 'swear jar' in the Assembly and the Governor's mansion. No word yet on whether the Governator intends to comply."

You've probably got a 128k upload limit. This matters for your download speed because almost all internet traffic is TCP and requires acknowledgement packets to be sent confirming that packets you requested have been received. If you can't get the acknowledgements back quick enough then you can't get data sent to you any quicker. The fastest a TCP connection will download with a 128k upload limit is around 4500k. Upgrade to a plan with a quicker upload speed and your download speed should climb closer to 7000k.
