Re: Cool!
yeah your max user rate is at 60000 but your actually recieving or allowed 25216 as a whole now. years from now you'll recieve the whole 60000 or can i say 55000 depending on how far away from the vrad you are (we hope). the closer the better. it looks like your close if your recieving 60000. your four streams only uses about 15000mb (i think)  and the rest is saved for internet. which you can now max out at around 10000.  can i say wireless n reciever (i sure home so). :P it will help out with there crazy install times. |

So in theory 1200kb/s is no more than 800kb/s. So why bother ever increasing speed?
Wanna rethink that? |

Subjectively speaking, based on user perceptions, it might be big. |

In theory, yes, those numbers work out. However, once one works out the effects of overhead, the change in effective throughput is hardly significant. |

So if speed is 1Mb/s and the increase in speed is to 1.5Mb/s then the ratio of 50% increase will filter on through to the new speed.
Or in other words the increase speed suffers the same overhead increase and the changes in actual speed change directly proportional. They boost the set speed by 50% and the actual speed will be boosted by 50%. |

After all the overhead, you go from being able to upload at around 880-900kbps to around 1200-1250kbps... Not that big of a difference.
Not that big of a difference? Seems big to me. For example, I have AT&T DSL Elite at 768k rated, and I peak at about 560Kbits actual data speed. That's 70Kbytes/sec. So a 20 megabyte upload takes 285 seconds or 4 3/4 minutes. If I could double my upload speed to 1.5M rated, presumably I'd halve my upload time to about 2 1/2 minutes. |

it is groundbreaking since its a dedicated connection and shouldn't fluctuate much at all. my 15 mbps time warner on the 15 mbps tier fluctuated from 2mbps to 18.5 mbps before i got rid of them. with uverse i get a steady 6.5 to 6.7 mbps internet everytime on a 6mpbs tier. What will be nicer is when you can have 2 hd streams and more sd streams.
Oh and my rg is connecting at around 60mbps

Pretty much the same? You mean they increased it by 50% (or 150% of previous max..pota-to/potah-to) and that's still not good enough? |

So they added 4 mbps...not ground breaking at ALL. and the upload is pretty much the same..
At&t you fail! |
