| about the speeds
Sure, I'll post some results that I made during the day. With the 15% less because of overhead, I usually download at real-world speeds of 7.5mbit/s, I'll post what my speeds are right now.
Right now:
Results of Speakeasy's test speed with New York server:
Last Result:
Download Speed: 7282 kbps (910.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 771 kbps (96.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
I'll try tonight during primetime (ie between 5 and 10pm) but so far my speeds have stayed the same all the time.
Right now I sync at 8450 down, 910 up. A few days ago I synced at 8800 down, 850 up. I downloaded at 7.5 mbits/sec, but didnt save those results.
About the annexe M, I didn't ask. I have no idea if they offer it or not.
EDIT: the speeds during primetime are the same, I could post the speeds but it's not needed, it's the exact same speed. Even since I had my connection, I haven't noticed a speed degration between day/night, so don't thnink it's a problem. |

| BTW your disconnections are caused by the fact your modem is trying to adjust to your line conditions and ColbaNet hasn't set a maximum profile on your line.
Depending on your modem there's a way to tell it to sync at a specific rate (using DMT tools I believe) but I've never played with that.
0pen a thread on the canadian broadband forums, people will help you set it up. This is assuming you have a modem compatible with the software. |

Rouyn-Noranda, QC | Wow thanks a lot, it was really getting on my nerves. I was thinking that my modem was defective. Thank you, I'll post a thread in the canadian broadband section. |

Rouyn-Noranda, QC | WEll as of this day (12 days later) I'm still getting very frequent disconnects, and am waiting on Colba to put my download speed at 6 mbits to see if it's their problem or my modem which I bought from Caneris |

| Ok I forgot to update but this (frequent disconnects) is due to a defective modem, it has nothing to do with Colba.net (bought the modem elsewhere). I am very satisfied with my connection, it is fast, cheap, unlimited download, I would strongly recommend it. |
