OK, I took the plunge. I called WS and they say my area can get 12/786. I have a 30 day trial period, and no contract so I can cancel anytime. They say my line should be on by 5/2 so I will report back then how it compares to my 8/512 from Time Warner.
Same here. Taking the plunge with 12M/768K. Let's see.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20415409 Thu, 01 May 2008 09:57:03 EDT Re: ADSL 2 in Charlotte, NC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20391471 xxTRAGEDYxx : hey bro it's been a while(3yrs) since I checked distance from the CO..since I now have cable. However, windstream was supposed to hook our internet up the other day. Can you tell me how to find my distance from their CO?? THNX

Edit: thnx but I found it....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20391471 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 15:11:26 EDT Re: ADSL 2 in Charlotte, NC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20389396 GVG : Maybe that is what all the trenching down the main road last year was. I noticed they were burying fiber optic line. Now just outside my subdivision entryway there is a small dark green little plastic box with a larger (4 feet tall 2 feet wide) metal Alpha cabinet next to it. It only appeared in the last week or so.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20389396 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 00:10:33 EDT Re: ADSL 2 in Charlotte, NC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20389358 bsc :

OK, now I am skeptical about this install. According to DSL Reports my CO is 3.5 miles away from my home. Give or take a few hundred feet either way for error, how can Windstream possibly give me 12Mb at that distance?
Remote DSLAM units. Don't worry about that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20389358 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 00:03:12 EDT Re: ADSL 2 in Charlotte, NC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20389280 GVG : OK, now I am skeptical about this install.

Alot of places are being migrated to GiGe links but as far as drains go, Level 3 and ATT are the 2 major or at least those are the ones i am aware of]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20388507 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:52:49 EDT ADSL 2 in Charlotte, NC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20387599 GVG : OK, I took the plunge.

They say my line should be on by 5/2 so I will report back then how it compares to my 8/512 from Time Warner. I will be not only looking at speed but latency and jitter as I run 3 VOIP lines over my connection and latency to the VOIP server and Jitter can wreak havoc on the connection.

Can anyone tell me who the primary backbone for Windstream is? TW used to use Level3, but now they use their own network.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20387599 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:55:00 EDT
