Hi Saltine, are you sure your actuall connection speed was 3.7MBps? or 3.7Mbps(3700). I hate to talk Bits and Bytes cuz this crap is addicting and i could talk forever about it... but if it is 3.7MBps then you had a hell of a connection. And i'd hunt down the bass tard that ruined it for ya. But 3.7Mbps is about the same as they are advertising now(around 1.5MBps) But higher speeds are common i guess even with the standard 512KBps. Anyways it's beats my few k connection on AOL, but i haven't had the boot syndrome like i hear about. I stay on for hours at a time. I think it's a stability issue. Well one second of advice. 56k users turn your error controll off and back off your recieve buffer one notch from fastest, it will help.
