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.

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.)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23961732 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:11:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23960750 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23960750 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:31:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23960304 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23960304 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:39:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959892
I don't know how they never saw this coming.

they shouldn't offer the service in areas where they don't even try to compete.

I'm curious as to why they went so aggressive for upload relative to download. Is it for video communications?

The person who said that this would mean big bucks for DSL providers to upgrade might on to something.

Personally I think 7 mbps and 0.5 mbps actual throughput would be a more useful and attainable goal. 4 mbps down isn't even enough for 720p video which is much more important than uploading at 1 mbps IMO.

Could it be that they are more focused more on the communications side of things and less on video delivery since they're not as keen as many are to see the internet replace the traditional crappy cable/satellite tv systems? Thinking about this makes sense as they have considerable control over the content of TV that they wouldn't have with online video...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959821 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:48:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959760 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959760 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:31:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959556 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959556 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:51:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959340 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959340 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:11:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959315 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959315 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:05:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959220
The more likely thing is that ISPs that aren't currently providing this 4/1 Mbps of actual throughput will more easily be able to dip into the perverted USF new tax burden AT&T and Verizon executive pension fund CAF]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959220 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:45:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959182 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959182 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:40:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Actual-Speeds-23959136 said by fiberguy:

Actual is what people should get, not what AT&T dishes out that is less than you pay for.
