| DSL Speed I feel fortunate to live in Ft. Worth. I am 2 miles from actual downtown, have TWO DSL nodes close to me here, and I pay for 364/128 and have been getting over 1000/300 (avg.) regularly. Had it over two years with no probs. I'm VERY satisfied with SBC and their performance. I guess living IN the city (a large city) has perks, & I can understand the frustrations regarding a small town and "something fast DSL". But, you must realize, that at least you have DSL service for a small town & don't have to live with dial-up anymore. 764/128 is a respectable number set. I would be happy if I got that too. I actually get more. I did sign up for the 3000mbps upgrade last month. Hasn't kicked in yet, but will by the first.
PIII PC w/512mb RAM
Win2K - Linux (Debian/Woody) dual boot
WireSpeed modem
Linksys BEFSR41 router & ethernet cable all
over the house
I can get 1225/368 on this line with this setup almost every day on the test pages. Can't wait for the upgrade.
I use Linux 98% of the time for everything.  |
