It's possible you are now being served by an RT, which effectively
shortens your distance. The best way to verify if you are truely
qualified is to go to at&t's web site and do a qualification check.

You have to remember when AT&T says "6 meg service" they still mean "Up To!"
Read the fine print. Even with longer loop lengths you're still not gonna
get 6 megs unless very close. The updated technology(RTs) just allows them
to reach more people at beyond the old 18,000 foot barrier, not necessarily
faster. Typically with Comcast you get the full advertised speed, although
not guaranteed, unless you've got problems(or a not as well maintained
area). DSL is still highly dependant on distance whereas cable is not.
