Re: That's utterly fascinating... I'm in the same situation as you. I'm around 20K ft from CO so I can't get DSL either. I've had HSI through Adelphia for over 2 years and it's been a fairly smooth ride but I'm getting to the point where I'd rather have 1.5mbit/384kbit DSL for around $20/month (or cheaper) rather than 4mbit/384kbit for $43/month. SBC/ATT/whoever has been telling me for the past 3 years (I'd originally looked into DSL before subscribing to cable) that DSL would be in my part of town in "the next few months"....total B/S!
Maybe SBC/ATT will roll out something once the Project Lightspeed finally gets going, but even then that's a couple years down the road...when, hopefully, i'll have moved on to a better area....free from SBC/ATT. |

| Also the tech dud told me that Qwest was going to be installing remote terminals witch would make my distance to the telephone switch board under 18,000 FT but didn't know when Qwest was going to start installing them in my area. |

1) DSL - speed varies with distance, however, your speed 'should' be consistant, once connected. i.e. sync rate locked at 3008/512.
2) Cable - high burst rates (i.e. maxed at 8/6Mbps/384 kbps), however nodes can get overloaded, especially during peak hours.
Since I perform remote access work, I need consistancy, and decent upload. |
