Re: Faster Technologies I am using Verizon lines from CO to home but Cavalier DSL to get speeds like this 
(10 mbps down and 903 kbps up. I only get 2.8mbps down and 768 kbps up with Verizon). Standalone DSL here is $34.95 with Verizon and $39.95 with Cavalier (3X the speed for $5). Just have to watch the billing and customer support with Cavalier like a hawk. But many have the same issues with Verizon (including me).

I live close enough to my RT to cook my dinner on it, but all they'll give me is 3 MBS down.
What gives?

I forgot to mention that I am 5000 feet from the CO and get 10mbps. I also am using a Zoom X6 adsl wireless modem/router which further bumps up the speed. The Cavalier tech I met lives very close to his CO and gets 13mbps down. But I do see that the average for Cavalier on dslreports is lower. DSL reports does not yet resolve my IP address correctly to Cavalier (unlike speed test.net) so my results don't impact the dslreports average for Cavalier. |
