Re: Centurytel
Folks, time for some error correction about Centurytel's High Speed Internet speeds:
The current top 'DSL' speed (aka - internet over a copper pair) will have an top possible speed of 10.0 Mbps.
The current top Fiber To The Premise (FTTP) connection is available upto 20.0 Mbps.
Here is the ultimate breakdown of residential speeds on each medium type... (sorry, this is missing prices)
Copper/DSL:
Extended 512 or 256 Kbps (dsl past 18,000 feet to ???)
512/256
1.5/256
3.0/512
4.0/512
6.0/512
8.0/768
10.0/768
Fiber Optic / FTTP:
512/256
1.5/256
3.0/512
15/768
20/3.0
I have heard that some copper locations are being experimented with getting 2.0 Mbps upload speeds. Of course, the combined company may want to change things up and make all of this information useless.
Hope this helps. |

I also heard that if you renew your contract when it's up, you can retain the $39.95 pricing.
I'm hoping if CenturyLink moves to this new packaging+pricing structure, they kick up the upload to 896k on the 10 meg package, but leave the price alone. |
