Have 1.5 Mbps / 896 KBps DSL.
The DSLAM is fed by 8 x T1 lines, serving about 100 homes.
3 of the T1s are out and have been for weeks or months.
I do not know how many of these are used for data. But I have been told that they oversell each data T1 line to 8 homes, used to be 7, CL increased the over sell ratio.
5 x T1, 5 x 1.544 Mbps, used for 64 homes. No wonder I get this speed test result during the time when people will be using their connections.
Last Result at CL speed test
Download Speed: 0.406 Mbps (0.1 MB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 0.729 Mbps (0.1 MB/sec transfer rate)
The closest server located in Seattle, WA performed this test with a latency of 34 milliseconds.

CL talktous email does not reply to questions about if it will be fixed (not when), just an IF. I get no response.
Most nights we get 0.2 or 0.3 Mbps, increases the latency too. 
Update:
Still terrible, the talktous email ignore any questions like "Is the DSLAM oversold?" or "Can you give an address of someone I can write to that deal with the internet being very slow between 8am and mindight?" .... They do not respond. Terrible.
Have filed a complaint with the Washington AG office, not that I expect anything from that. But please, can other file complaints too?
