Re: embarq dsl 3/512 vs my cable internet insightbb Sprint's strong point has never been latency. |

| said by Maxo:Sprint's strong point has never been latency. And that is sad. And possibly due to poor infrastructure. I mean you are talking about a network here. If properly setup there should be no excess latency than normal network expansion latency.
When a network is geographically separated you're going to have latency, but this is ridiculous. I live less than a mile from the C/O and I'm getting a ping of 44ms? That is bogus. That means either a)there are very crappy copper lines from my location to the C/O or something is setup poorly on Sprint's end.
I did leave out that there may be a slight chance that my setup is screwy, but I highly doubt it. |

Tallahassee, FL | It has nothing to do with network capacity or poor infrastructure. It has everything to do with putting all customer's on interleave and refusing to take them off. |

kudos:2 | I think it's important to point out that Embarq isn't the only DSL provider that is inflexible about reducing the interleaving delay. *COUGH*Qwest*COUGH* |

Tallahassee, FL | People have reported that they were successful in getting Sprint to reduce the interleave delay, which is ok. It would be optimal for them to just remove interleave. |

| My ping times to the 1st hop were 46ms, after fastpath turned on, it dropped to 12ms. I consistantly get a ping times of 37ms now to a game server I was getting about 57ms and browsing is snappier. They are testing speed increase of 10mb/1mb, hope they get this released soon, but they are doing the right thing of upgrading their WAN before they release that. |
