| Aliant High-Speed Max - up to 10 Mbps »productsandservice.aliant.net/PS···ection=1
Just curious if anyone had this service? Right now I have 5 Mbps, but my line rate is 8 Mbps (the maximum for ADSL?) So does that mean HS Max is ADSL 2? I am curious if there is a replacement modem (have 6520 now) and if the speeds are really 10 Mbps. Also, is the upload rate any better? I get 640 kbps upstream now, but I've heard ADSL2 supports over 1 Mbps?? I used the online too and apparently my phone line qualifies. |

| I have the service and while my line profile is set to 10 Meg, I can only pull in on average 8.5 Meg. On Ultra which you have (I used to have myself before I upgraded) your line profile is always set to 8000/640 but your actual speed just depends on your distance from the CO. High-Speed Max is ADSL2+, what they will do is swap your modem (I also had a 6520) and give you a Siemens Gigaset modem. Don't expect to hit 10 Meg unless you live very close to the CO otherwise just stick with Ultra. |

| thanks for the info. I think that since the line is synched at 8000/640 I am able to get that speed but it is limited at the ATM because ultra is limited at 5000 (I hear the other 3000 is used for IPTV which I don't have). Is the upload speed any better on Max? |

| I have Max (signed up when was still called Premium), I get the 10Mbps down. The upload is up to 1.25Mbps (took a lot of effort to get someone at Aliant to tell me that) - but my modem trains at 1Mbit upload.
I enjoy the speed increase. |
