| Better late than never. Welcome to the 21st century, Qwest
In my auxiliary residence I have Qwest DSL 1.5/896 for $34 a month including Qwest.net basic ISP. I'm pretty satisfied overall and I actually think Qwest is underrated around these forums. There's no noticeable throttling of P2P, no slowdowns ever, packet loss and latency are consistent (except for interleaving. arrgh. anyone know when FastPath is coming for Qwest users?)
I can get 3/640 for another $10 a month but losing 256k up while paying a third more is senseless. Qwest markets 5 and 7 mbps service in my area but they said repeatedly I'm only eligible for 3mbps. My aux. home is in one of my state's few affluent suburban areas so hopefully my CO is high on the upgrade list.
I'm 8k as the crow flies, 11k by car to my CO. I know VDSL has much stricter distance limitations than ADSL. Anyone have any idea if I'll be able to get VDSL and if so how fast realistically should I expect? |
