Re: Should I switch from Comcast cable to AT&T DSL Xtreme 6.0?
Sorry Neyland, your facts are not correct. The term "shared" may apply once out on the internet, but has no bearing of comparison between the 2 from an OPs standpoint.
Node "saturation" is a cable network problem and does not apply to telco DSLAM's. While DSLAM's may max out capacity due to user connections has nothing to do w/ degrading of DSL signal to a user as does w/ cable.
As far as 6M to 10M analogy, on a general bitrate speed test yes it's obvious to see a difference. It's only the pipe of transfer that's supplied to you, doesn't necessarily mean your going to see faster surfing, gaming, whatever. |

I am, currently, 26 miles out from my aggregation router. I was switched to one in Pleasanton, California, from another in Santa Clara, California. The reason for the switch? Saturation; more specifically, the tech referred to the aggregation router in Santa Clara as an "exhausted router".
