Re: Qwest DSL service too expesnive!
said by AOL101 :
If i count my upload speed it is 12 times faster than Qwest 1.5 service plan
Did you ever take math in school???? So, you are saying that your download speed is 15mb and your upload is 10.75mb???? Spin the numbers anyway you want. 8mb is NOT 10X faster than 1.5mb. You can't ADD them together. If that's what you're doing, then you've proven that you really don't know how bandwidth and the internet work.
But based on advertised speeds of 8mb/400kb by many cable providers, that would mean the download is about 5 times faster than qwest and the upload is about HALF the speed of qwest. Then, combine that with the fact that most cable providers have a 40% variable fluctuation in their bandwidth capacity during certain peak hours of the day, and the "speed" (bandwidth) difference is almost negligible.
And, to clarify the rest of your statement, the average Qwest dsl user, who has telephone service also, is paying approximately $36 a month for their dsl. So, I say to you that your 8mb/400k cable broadband, which during much of the day when needed is probably closer to 6mb/300k is too expensive compared to qwest dsl. Your service is almost $10 a month more. later... mike..... |

I would get guess that 25% have no ISP choice, Qwest DSL or nothing. |
