well- 600kb sounds EXTRA-ordinary- i get about 190kb/s download, and 90 upload- using Tzones- and hell, it's only $6- only itunesstore and appstore dont work over the CDN- youtube and cydia both work great, as do other webbased apps... tzones is not very limited, actually not at all, i mean, the porn comes in fine on safari-

download speedtest from the appstore [its free], run it, and post up your results-

i dont know what to tell you about your service going down- sorry-

PS. you're parents money is your money, they'll appreciate you saving them $14 bucks a month- heck, they might even give it to you as they'll likely be so proud their little angel was so thoughtful-
