Re: AT&T DSL "Lagging" in Lisle I ended up calling AT&T today. See, I've been using my labtop upstairs without using one of those filters. I must have plugged the DSL phone wire into the phone slot. I ended up getting really crappy speeds.
I'm getting a download speed of around 1300 kb/s, out of a maximum of 1536 kb/s.
I think thats pretty darn good for DSL. Too bad AT&T is raising their rates to $25 per month now. I decided to finsh out the end of my contract. Then I signed up for comcast, only $19.95 per month for 1 yr. I'll be getting anywhere from 5 mb/s to 12 mb/s now.
I can't see how anyone will stay with AT&T now, it's such a rip off. Anyways, thanks. |

| AT+T isn't that much of a ripoff if you consider other factors. Some people aren't switching to Comcast because:
* cable installation fees are high
* to not have to deal with Comcast throttling or network protocol interference (Sandvine)
* cost: not everybody is being offerred $19.95/mo for 1 year. I haven't seen that offer online, on TV or in the bi-weekly mailings that Comcast sends me.
* don't need or want Cable TV/telephone: to get that $19.95/mo for 1 year, you probably needed to sign up for Cable TV and/or Cable Telephone. |
