I am having a service technician come to the house -- apparently they need to come to the home for the install, and I also have to designate one of my phone jacks to be dedicated to internet service. Not sure of the technical aspects of it. I was also told that 1) the 2wire gateway I have should be fine for this speed, but I am being sent a new Siemens gateway in the mail "just in case", 2) I may be getting slower than advertised speed now due to sharing the phone and DSL service - the microfilters can help but not eliminate these speed issues.
The tech visit is tomorrow, so I'll keep you posted. Good luck with the online ordering, I was too leery to try it myself.

What kind of speed are you getting now? Close to 6?
