| cable offers faster speeds I've had decent experiences on both cable and DSL.
when I lived fairly close to a central office I could get about 5.7mbps down and the max offered 768kbps upload. When I was on Adelphia cable, I could get around 6.6mbps throughput download and a decent 865kbps throughput on upload. When on Cox cable briefly, I was able to experience max download rates of around 9.3mbps or around 1300 kilobytes per second, and uploads or around 1.04mbps or around 124 kilobytes per second. That was sweet.
However now that I've moved to Riverside, I'm on Charter cable, and it truly sucks. Despite the fact cable technology can easily do 10mbps/1mbps, Charter still only offers a max tier of 3.0/256! I back up files to a server off site, and at 256k, it takes me now 7 hours to upload around 700 megs of data. So to get better upload I'll soon be going to dsl, where my upstream can be increased by 3 times at least.
I want decent upstream and downstream, and charter certainly doesn't offer decent upload at all! why won't T1 lines or the like come down in price so those of us wanting to upload as well as download can do so? enough with the crap upload speeds. Even 6mbps is decent, but give us decent upstream already! I don't care if it's cable or DSL, or a couple of bonded t1's, but let us upload if we want. |
