Re: Got FTTN (VDSL2), can only get 12Mbps/896Kbps I just remembered a conversation I had with Qwest support a year ago (when I asked them about faster speeds) that while I'm only half a mile away from the DSLAM, it's actually 4,500 feet cable-wise. Sadly, at that range it doesn't appear 40/20 would be an option.
I am still almost positive 20Mbps can be achieved on this line. A quick Google indicates VDSL2 drops down to ADSL2+ speeds at about a mile - and another search indicates at a mile, 20Mbps can be achieved with ADSL2+. The 5Mbps upload would indeed be nice but I'm not sure that could be done with these line stats.
I'm going to give them a call tomorrow morning and see what I can get out of them. I'm thinking I'll ask for the US-based tech support as I heard most of those agents are level 2, which is probably better equipped to handle my inquiry? |
