Re: Denver?

Denver is small potatoes compared to Houston, and they aren't upgrading us.

There is a difference however: Denver is a relatively major POP/fiber route for Comcast. HOU isn't. In Denver some of our traffic actually jumps onto Level3 right in town, though much of it still goes to LA. I don't think any traffic switches off to another carrier in Houston, though I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

OTOH you guys have U-Verse, which offers 18/1.5 (actual, not provisioned, at least as far as I can tell) whereas here Qwest is still truding along with service that realistically tops out at 17 Mbps down and 750k up...and that's if you are priveleged enough to be in an FTTN area.

Before the Comcast iBone routes came up, we went directly from HOU to Level3. We might still... I haven't checked. N.Houston has a major hub for Level3 and a bunch of other carriers - probably Comcast as well.

The iBone changes everything lol. All RR and apparently Qwest traffic routes through HOU right now...

Assuming your lines are PERFECT, conditions are optimal and your CO isn't oversold!

Lines don't have to be perfect; 24 Mbps is the max for ADSL2+ on downloads and that can be reached at 5000 feet from the CO if I remember correctly.

Oversold nodes OTOH are a very real issue. You'd think that Comcast was using DSL and Qwest cable by the congestion problems on the one hand and the lack thereof on the other.
