| We Actually use CurrentLink! I am user of CurrentLink and can tell you this stuff really works here in Cincinnati. The speeds seem to depend more upon the condition of your actual home wiring vs. pole to pole transmission. I have the 3 Mps / 3 Mps service ($32 monthly) and speed tests show a rather steady 2.70-2.80 Mbps down and 3-3.2 Mbps up. Its the upstream that sets if apart from Time Warner or Cincinnati Bell DSL. I know several HAM's in the area and asked if they felt there was any interference and got a resounding no. Current uses a modified Asoka PL9620-ETH adapter to help with this. Their backhaul is Level 3 for now which seems ok latency wise. We are now testing CurrentVoice, an integrated VOIP product they intent to roll out in the near future which line quality now falls between BroadVoice & Sunrocket. The real question as an actual user is IF Current will ramp up the speeds to compete with higer cable speeds and/or match future FIOS type of offerings? |
