seattle area dsl

hey guys, i'm wondering how the speeds are near seattle, i'm just south of it in auburn, and i was told i can get the 1.5mbps package. i'd use it mostly for games so i'm wondering if the pings are good and what not. thanks much

I can't really speak for Seattle area ping times (I would assume they would be great since they have a POP there), but my ping times remain excellent, and I'm on the Atlanta POP.

depends on if you're lucky enough to be on covad. i've known a few people in auburn that had to use qwest. so if you're unlucky enough to be stuck with qwest then each hop will have 32-40ms latency added..

I'm up here in Federal Way on Comcast,but i can't get speakeasy or qwest,to far away from the co.
It sure would be nice sometimes if you had an option.

they will use a qwest dslam if a covad one is not available. if that is what happens you will still have interleaving.
