Thanks, Ken. 

I now know that this is not a debian or linux problem. I booted Win98SE and 
conducted "official" Sprint speed tests...

Running tests:
Please wait...

-- Starting download test...   Done!
-- Starting upload test...   Done!

Testing complete!  Your results are:

- Download speed: 201.000 KBits/sec  ( 4 times faster than a 56k modem )
- Upload speed:     227.000 KBits/sec  ( 7 times faster than a 56k modem )

I now have to fight my way through crap tech support.
