Hi Scott,
I wondered about that! We are with CenturyLink which used to be Qwest. I
don't remember what our upload channel speed is, but I suspect you may be
right. The first 3,000+ songs went quite quickly though, so I'm a little
stumped as to why these last 700+ songs are taking such a long time. I do have
quite a bit of music that is probably not considered to be in the popular music
realm though.
