I have counters on all my sites and they show 'me' as being on a dialup connection
sometimes, and then sometimes in broadband. I am not over my limit so I should not be
moved to dial-up

Here is one IP address of my ISP 220.253.90.133

I do not know where I should be checking this.

Thanks

And since one of the nameservers are open to respond to an AXFR query,
there appears to be 3791 hostnames containing the text "dial", 35605
hostnames containing the text "dsl", out of 78376 hostnames pointing
directly to an IP address (figures found by an insensitive case match
using grep). Do the math to figure out how many that don't specify the
type of connection in their hostname.

The best way to find out for the OP is to either call her ISP (assuming
it's a female, judging by the name "W E B G U R L") or to use a speed
tester, like one of these links provided by Karl:

Anything above 600 bps can technically be considered to be "broadband",
although that can pretty much be a matter of how you define it.

they offer dialup and broadband. The 'shape' and so I often believe I am moved to dialup
quality.

Contacted the ISP months ago and got the typical support response.

Thanks for the links.
