Re: Day late, dollar short CenturyTel has 15 Mbp FTTH.
Also, as far as HD streaming goes, I'm pretty sure Netflix stuff is 5 Mbps or thereabouts. Ill have to try later on and count the bits going by, but I can absolutely do HD over my 8/2 connection.
As to reliability on Embarq, I have family in NC, who use Embarq. On holidays they have ping spikes, otherwise the connection is rock solid. Smokepings? A perfectly flat line. | | |

Embarq also has a limited trial in Las Vegas from what I heard. But they certainly aren't as aggressive as Verizon is with FiOS. When they bring fiber to the home in Northwest NJ, I may take them up on it. But for now? I'm not going backwards in speed to ADSL2. quote:

I can only get 5 meg service here. It may stream HD sometimes, but not all the time. quote:

I have to try smokepings here but the internet service has so far only gone out twice that I noticed. | |

| Take a look at a smokeping. Cable tends to be +/- 10 ms from what I can tell. Comcast here in CO seems a little more reliable than TWC/RR in Fredericksburg TX as far as I can see.
But the variance on Embarq, usually less than 1ms...rock solid. Not that it impacts connection quality a ton, but it's funny that the phone company's internet service is the best one for VoIP. | |
