Gulliver, MI | Re: I'm thinking switching to c-tel No, they do not throttle that i know of.At that distance from CO you should be able to get 6meg if they provide it there |

| Thank you. Centurytel only offers 1.5/256 at this time, but that's better, if I can really get it, than the 1.0/256 I'm currently getting from cebridge/suddenlink. And sudden link throttles your entire connect to 256k/128 up, if you download more that 30 MB in ten minutes.
It's frustrating. If my son and I are both online for an hour or two, somewhere in there we're going to break that limit, just my surfing and his gaming.
Two miles from the switch isn't too far? |

kudos:3 | said by wepmatic:Two miles from the switch isn't too far? Not at all. Centurytel sells DSL out to around 24k feet with their "extended DSL". At two miles you could get up to 3 meg reliably if they ever upgrade your offices' equipment. |

| He can get more than 3Meg.I'm at 2.3 miles from CO and getting 6Meg |

Should I use centurytel's modem, or get my own? If the latter, which one is best? |

Gulliver, MI | I would say get your own.I picked up a AT&T branded 2Wire 2700hg on ebay for 20 bucks that works just great.No rental fee's here. |

Re: I'm thinking of switching to c-tel I ordered centurytel dsl today. Cheap enough now that you no longer have to have the home phone as well. |

I am at 3.1 miles from the co and I am getting a sync rate
of 3.5 meg on my line. I am using a 2wire 1800hg gateway.
You might want to go ahead and ask about the 3 meg service
anyway. They might have it available and just not show it
being offered yet.
Yes you can provide your own modem, just be sure to tell
them when you are ordering that you will provide your own
equipment. |

1.5 is the best they offer in atkins, and from what ive seen, it has been quite a bit better than the cable offered there. |
