My speed with CavTel has never gone above 800k. My modem failed last week (Thursday night) and they shipped me a new one on Friday. I rec'd it on Monday and from what I was told that modem was incompatible w my dsl run so they were upgrading me (no charges) and once Verizon switched it over I would be up and running, the did say within 5 bus. days (that was Tues), not sure if I've been switched yet.
Anyway, speed has never been good, price is cheap enough but Comcast's $13 a mon deal for 12mb (43 after 6 months) is starting to look like a real good deal. I'm paying $25 now and not even getting 1mb.
Funny though since I was down I did sponge my neighbor's open wireless to check my mail and noticed it was faster than I was used to and did a speed test. I hit 2m 3 times and was over 1m several times. This was over wireless from roughly 100-125ft from their house across the road. Why can't CavTel get me over 1m?
UPDATE**** finally got switched over on Friday, and finally did some speed tests to see what's going on. WOW-- surprise surprise. 8m, 5m, 7m, 3m. Nothing under 1.5m (only one test point, so could have been issue there). Downloaded Openoffice to my new computer and it took about 1-2 min (wasn't paying close attention). Finally DSL that works. This is AWESOME! I am back to recommending CavTel to those in area who can't get Fios. I'm still in line for that.
