Re: What's that cap again?

The 50/50 Service has a 500GB allowance, with overages costing around 20cents a gig. At least according to xmission's service policy.

That's way better than the:
"you're affecting your neighbors because we have inferior technology deployed, so we are going to throttle you or hard cap (overages = boot off service)"
comcast provides for more money and slower speeds.

I've seen and used quests new dsl both the 12 and 20 meg service and neither got close to their stated speeds. Approx 9mbit on the 12 and 16 on the 20 is what you should expect to get.

By the way pings to nearby servers for gaming on utopia are under 15ms. I've seen some users get down near 5ms.

Let me guess... ATM overhead. Typically on a DSL line, you're looking at max ~85% of sync rate.
Sync rate of 20Mbps (20,480kbps?) = 17,408kbps throughput at 85%. Sad... their overhead was as much as my AT&T ADSL pipe
