Re: Actual Speeds Cable doesn't go 1M up either. I, personally, do not know anyone with an actual, functional 1M up. And this includes a 1M up business cable connection -- TW can and will drop packets above 500k, the best I have ever seen it do is ~900k.
DOCSIS 3.0 and VDSL (aka Uverse) will work at these speeds, but getting the operators to stop shoveling cash into their pockets long enough to upgrade their systems will require putting a gun to their head.
(The office has a T1 and DS3, and they work at full rate 100% of the time. But, they aren't $29.95 a month.) |

Obviously provider/network dependent, but I routinely see 2.5-3 Mbps upstream with my cable ISP. |

I call BS. My home line gets 1 up 15 down consistently. my 2 up 15 down business cable gets that consistently. My 5Mbit and 3 Mbit fiber links get a bit over that consistently. All TW provided. |
