| Went cable instead I was stuck at 6.0/768k and I was waiting for U-Verse. That was until Comcast offered me 16M/2M for less than my Speakeasy line. That upload is pretty paltry. |

That upload is pretty paltry. And how has your Comcast service been? My 16/2 Comcast connection has PowerBoost uploads at ~3Mbps for the first 90 seconds or so before steadying out at ~2Mbps. This has really been great when I upload the occasional 200MB file. It does not take long at all and I can continue to work online with a minimal impact on my service. I love it, and would have a difficult time switching to a slower upload speed. |

Service has been pretty dang good. I haven't had any major outages. The speed is nice, especially the upload. |

By my reply I don't mean to be a Comcast fanboy. The point I'm trying to make is that DSL and its variants are becoming more stale and irrelevant every minute. Qwest is offering something that, quite plainly, pales in comparison to current offers by Comcast and Verizon FIOS.
My experience: I tried getting ADSL2+ from Covad but at 10K feet from the CO I couldn't even get 8.0M/1M, while I already had 6.0M/768K. So I figured I would wait for U-Verse. As much as I hate AT&T I really wanted the extra bandwidth. But instead of waiting for U-Verse I found out I could get Comcast Business NOW with a static IP and faster download/upload speeds than AT&T will ever offer with U-Verse.
DSL technologies can't keep up with cable and fiber, its a reality that has been repeated on this site ad-nauseum and can be clearly seen in the products being offered by the different technologies. |
