| AT&T has ADSL2+, but gives crap speeds -.- AT&T Southeast has ADSL2+, but gives crap speeds
My maximum sync rate? 22 Mbps down, 508 Kbps up
My sync rate? 8128 Kbps down, 508 Kbps up
My internet speed? 6.5 Mbps down.. ~400 Kbps up (though i pay for 512.. overhead stinks) |

kudos:16 | It's very odd that you'd see an attainable max speed of 508kbit up and 22mbit down. Almost impossible, in fact, unless you had some sort of wiring issue. The upstream part of the frequency spectrum is the lower part, which is the best quality. On the other hand, if you're paying for 512kbit upstream and syncing at 508, that might be a provider-imposed limit.
That said, 8128 happens to be the exact maximum supported sync rate on ADSL (regular type). If you're syncing at 8128kbit down, I'm inclined to believe that you're either on ADSL rather than ADSL2+, or you've been capped at that speed.
For an 8128/508 sync, 6.5/400 is more or less what you should expect to get, so that's not really crap... |
