I think I'm near the limits of what I can get for being at +10,000'
Note: Attainable rate is typically ~ 5Mbps range.

Thanks | |

Valencia, CA | Re: Non Contract prices are going up... George, what would happen if I attempted to order it through your online update during the night, when it never reports properly (i.e. it gives me the option of m2m for 6Mbps/768kbps) ?

| Have you tried a NID splitter? Not a filter or the cheap little $5 gadgets you plug in before phones. NID filters separate voice from data at the NID, before anything enters your home. It won't always help, but often will if you live in an older home (old wiring=bad) or your phone lines go near some power source that adds "noise" that bleeds over into your data spectrum.
Without a NID filter, I was at 384/128. After installing one, I went to 768/3xx on "fast". After some arguing, I was moved up to 1536/5xx on interleave with no problems to speak of. I'm well over 15' from my CO.
Just an idea. | |

| Re: Non Contract prices are going up...I actually had something similar originally put in by AT&T a while back - made no difference here, as the wiring is actually good inside the house.
My issue is actually distance. AT&T will not qualify me for 6Mbps/768kbps at +10,000'.
My line stats are good enough for ~ 5Mbps /768kbps sync.
AT&T by default won't allow me to order anything better than 1536/384kbps due to distance :p, even though line stats show that I could hit 6080/1000 (although not really stable). My line stats are pretty good.

How long before that did you have to 'cut' AT&T/DSL-Extreme ?

| Re: Non Contract prices are going up... I agree - it would be nice if DSL-Extreme had access to Uverse, especially since AT&T doesn't see Uverse Internet as standalone.
The only real reasons for thinking about going elsewhere is:
a) POTS (yeah - I do use my phone number)
b) Cost of 'Pro' m2m approaching 'Elite', and I can't qualify for elite, or even a capped Elite.
As long as there aren't any increases in the near future, I don't plan on migrating, and it wouldn't be until at least August for a triple/quad bundle deal.
If it was just price, I probably would have 'jumped' at a bundle deal for VoIP and Internet from either AT&T or TW.
DSL-Extreme has worked very well, and is typically very responsive to issues, and I don't _really_ need higher speeds. I wish the DSLX could sell dry loop or Uverse, as their service has been very good for me.
