Where I live embarq has numerous complaints about not getting what your paying for....lag / modem 660 is garbage I have been through 3 in a year.

i pay for 10 I get 4 to 5 on average...this company sux I currently have no other choice due to where i currently live. I am tempted to just go to the local library just to check email and pull the plug to save the money.
i have a 660R modem, test between 9-11 mbps and consistently ping below 40ms.

Because you have a problem with your connection does not mean "the company sux" or that the equipment is garbage.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-periodic-connection-loss-after-upgrade-from-15-to-10-23270430 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:39:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-periodic-connection-loss-after-upgrade-from-15-to-10-23270208 »How long do dsl filters last?

I have been thinking of switching to Comcast, but read with interest that they have outages. Wow!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-periodic-connection-loss-after-upgrade-from-15-to-10-23265302 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:09:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-periodic-connection-loss-after-upgrade-from-15-to-10-23263311
The speedtest is still returning around 5 instead of the advertised 10. I've heard that I may need to replace all of my phone-jack filters with a single whole-house splitter. Does anyone have any experience with that helping?

I have had Sprint/Embarq for eight straight years and they have been solid as a rock in reliability. I switched to cable high-speed for 3 months and came running back because of the frequent outages.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-periodic-connection-loss-after-upgrade-from-15-to-10-23263311 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:12:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-periodic-connection-loss-after-upgrade-from-15-to-10-23262167
Plus, now that CenturyLink has taken over, they can't seem to even figure out who I am or where the service actually is. But they can send me a bill for almost $100 a month like clockwork.

I have filters on my phones here, and I read somewhere that might be a problem? Also, I see a lot of discussion about noise levels, SNR, etc. but I don't know how to obtain those kind of numbers to provide on this forum.

Thanks ...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/periodic-connection-loss-after-upgrade-from-15-to-10-23252892 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 06:27:33 EDT
