I called yesterday 09/17/07 to cancel my unlimited long distance and the CSR tried to sell me the 5 down. I asked her why I should get the 5 when I don't even get the promise 3. She didn't have a answer. My point is she didn't even mention 10. I recently changed from 14 years with the cable company. My most recent down speed was 6 with the cable and I always got 6.5 down. Beginning to think I made a mistake. |

| They should offer it at a lower rate. Cable still has the better deal compared to them
and yes, I've been using different DNS servers
It's still amazing how Embarq is surviving out here in FWB.
I wish this area would get bought out by Verizon (or VZ would buy out Embarq) so that more of us can get FIOS.

Yeah, 3 meg for $30 is not a bad deal...but it's only 3 meg. Not to mention, Verizon seems to be ignoring their copper, for the most part, in favor of deploying fiber to the BIG cities. Yes, Embarq has some issues, and they need to upgrade their backhaul to support their customers, but at least they plan on having 100% coverage by the end of 2009, and at least they offer higher speeds than Verizon....the only 2 things they need to really work on is their backhaul and offering naked DSL....I suspect the former will come first, but only time will tell.

I got the results of the escalation and all they would tell me is I don't qualify, wouldn't say why or give me any information, other than I couldn't get 10 meg.  |

FWIW, the tech that came to my house today claimed that Embarq is working to deploy more remotes throughout the valley so that the 10 Meg can be offered to a lot more of the user base here in Vegas. I know that doesn't help now, but hopefully you'll be able to get it in the near future. |

with that kind of sync rate, I would think that you could (if the backhaul can provide it) have a consistent 10 meg down and 900k up connection...maybe it's the time of day, or you need to tweak it some more? *Shrug*. What's your latency like? Either way, I can't wait to see results like that at my home (if ever). |

Well, I'm moving in a couple of weeks..so there's no point in trying to order it now. I'm not sure if I'll still have embarq or if I'll have cox after I move. |

ok thanks for the stats just wanted to see what the noise margins would wind up at. By my math your upload and download are with in 85% of the max very nice. |

Didn't do anything for the upload. I'll be experimenting more in the next few days and at different times of the day. |

| still with 85% of 13,594kbps, he could theoretically get 11,554kbps. As for your upload, you could theoretically (with the 85% figure) get 815kbps...which is about what you're getting, so I wouldn't really complain about that. Your download? *Shrug* I'd expect to get *slightly* over 10 meg with those numbers (and the overprovisioning), but I'd say if it stays around that 9.9 mark, you'll be doing marvelously.
Say, what's your ping to www.google.com ? |
