Commerce City, CO | Raise the upload speed Qwest Now if they would make it 20/4-5ish or 12/3-4ish that would be a much better deal. The 1MBps upload is bad as Comcast's 384k upload. Takes forever to send an e-mail with any sort of attachment. People do send stuff as well as downloading. |

| Exactly. I'd take a 12/3 connection over a 25/1 anyday. |

Commerce City, CO | Qwest is claiming that it is a limitation of the lame ADSL2+ hardware they are putting in. It's not VDSL. It is FTTN then ADSL2+ to the house. |

Well I don't know about VDSL2, but I do know that DOCSIS can support a lot more bandwidth than traditional DSL..

On short loops with the correct modems you can get up to 3.0 megs upload with ADSL2+ Annex M.
We've got customers on our DSLAM's using it:
6. Up Adsl2+ M 18376/ 2932
7. Up Adsl2+ M 15784/ 2008 |

Remember the 100-300mbps numbers they are giving you are totally false. Those numbers are for the entire node, that passes 100-500 houses/families/units. When was the last time you saw a 40mbit/s DOCSIS 1.0 or 2.0 tier (node limit)? Thats how real your 100 mbps will be. DOCSIS 3 might be seen by cable companies more as a way of fixing peak usage node congestion rather than improving speeds since ANYTHING is cheaper than a node split. |
