Re: Embarq enabled Fast Path for me! w00t? :) I am not sure about the support for fast path in Ad-Trans, though I know they can be set for it. All of them I have worked with though have been set for interleave. |

Called Embarq yesterday and complained about lag/voice drop issues on my service using VOIP. Customer rep was very nice, however, I was told that since the equipment at my DSLAM was Ad-Tran there was nothing they could do to help. Current service is setup on interleave and could not be changed. Typical pings to first hop are running typically in the 60-80ms range. Looks like there is not much that can be done to improve my situation.

I may be wrong, but I can't imagine a DSLAM not being able to handle fastpath. It must be a shitty DSLAM. |

said by Someguy:oh ok they told me the card would drop the connections That is/was the case. Putting a card into mixed modes, interleave and fast path on the same card could cause connections to be dropped. That is remedied by running the card in only one mode or upgrading the firmware. |

Macon, NC | All I could get out of the Embarq guy was that they had "no way of changing me over". Only after I pushed a little further into the type of equipment did he mention adtran. Not sure he really understood everthing since he seemed to be relaying info from the engineer he was working with on the other end.
As to the quality of the equipment lets just say that it took them over 2 months of working on my connection to get it anywhere close to the 5.0 package. Download speeds for the first 2 months were around 2400 at best. After installing either 2 or 3 (sorry I can't remember the exact number) additional T1 lines and correcting a few other problems my service has been rock solid. Given that I live in a very rural area I am just happy to have DSL service period. Three years of dealing with a satellite connection was enought for me.
