And you're not on a crowded node. And that's less than 1/3 of the capacity of DOCSIS 3. Plus you've got caps. So I'd say PenTeleData is playing it safe. Which is fine...I suppose...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21854310 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 11:25:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21853714 Eat Me : I'm on D3 and my speeds are pretty consistent. Almost always get 27-29mbps down and 1700-1900 up at speedtest.net.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21853714 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 09:34:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21851923 iansltx : Probably helps. I don't have many, if any, peak congestion issues here either, however there are plenty of places who do, especially as you go up in the number of uses your node is shared with, particularly on DOCSIS 3.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21851923 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 21:23:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21851385 Eat Me : I'm on Cable and I don't have any peak congestion problems at all.

Probably helps that my node doesn't really have that many people.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21851385 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 19:40:10 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21850622 iansltx : Honestly, I don't care about overselling as long as I get the bandwidth I want when I want it. When capacity is high (gigabits per second) then it's very easy to oversell without anyone getting annoyed at the result.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21850622 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 17:29:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21850550 anon : Obviously Verizon is overselling bandwidth.

Or do you somehow believe that they have enough bandwidth to the Internet for all of their business line, DSL, and FIOS customers combined for each of them to have their full speed at all times?

All ISPs/NSPs/Hosting providers have always oversold. If there are any that didn't, they are out of business.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21850550 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 17:18:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21849671 Eat Me : Verizon is already overselling, just not the last mile (yet).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21849671 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:02:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21849288 iansltx : Gbps, not GBps. IOW Gigabit ethernet crossover'd to fiber to the home. Needless to say, sick.

Verizon could do this with FiOS...if they were willing to oversell like the cable companies do lol.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21849288 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 14:02:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21848962 Jerm : 1GBPS - on my "island" that is!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21848962 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 13:14:23 EDT
