Re: When will DSLExtreme have faster speeds
I enjoyed DSLX's excellent service for a long time, but frankly, cable's speeds have become too fast to overlook. AT&T's 6mbps DSL is more like 5mbps after ATM overhead is factored in. My 10mbps cable service consistently downloads at 1.2MB/sec at any time day or night, just about double what I saw with DSL.
If you have 15mbps cable as an option, it'll be about 3 times faster than AT&T's best DSL offering. Cable reliability and service quality varies a lot by area. Your best bet is to just give the cable a shot and see how it works out for you, there's no contract involved with Road Runner. If the reliability isn't there you can always order DSL. That was my strategy. I've stuck with the cable for 6 months and it's been absolutely wonderful. |
