| Ideal Download Speeds in NYC (Please post your speed tests) I'm about 3200 ft. away from my CC (call center). Anyways I have the 6.0/768 package and my download speeds only top off at 5.0 MB. Is this ideal? Shouldn't it be around 5.5? Please list your speeds in NYC. |
|
1 edit | I have 3000/768 service and typically see about 2525 on the d/l and 610 on the upload. |
|
| Something must be wrong for me then. |

| There is typically 15-20% overhead associated with any ADSL connection. So on a 6000/768 package anything in the range of 4800/614 - 5100/650 is pretty good. |

i forgot to mention when you goto that site (»www.j79zlr.com/cablenutXP2k.php and make a ccs file just scroll down the page and you will see CCS file download and that will allow you to just download the file you made and if you just click the file that you downloaded it will open cablenut automatically and then you just hit save to registry and restart the computer and the new settings will be used after the restart.
if you need more help just message me or goto »www.testmy.net/ and make an account there cause that is where i learned to use this and everyone there would be glad to help you.  |

It's around 10-12%, from ATM's ~9% plus TCP overhead's 2-3%.
For the OP: when I had 6M/768k from SE - ~1+ year ago - I got around 690-700kB/s from my NSP, according to Newsleecher's logs.

| Yes its around 13% before you account for distance, line condition, internal wiring, etc. If you were getting 690-700kB/s you were getting over 90% of your rated capacity which as you already stated is not going to happen. As I stated, on typical ADSL lines the vast majority of people are going to see between 80-85% of their rated line speed. |

I've had Speakeasy's 6.0/768 ADSL package for about 2-3 weeks. And after speed testing daily, my avg speed is around 5100/620.
Not bad... |

Try to interpret what you read before you hit the reply button: I said Newsleecher's log said that, so it's probably not so correct, let alone if I have only around 10% overhead it's not impossible to get very close to that.

No, you stated the overhead is 15-20% and I stated that's BS - as it is, indeed.
