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.
