Sync Speed Greater Than Download Speed

350 KBps [Kilobytes per second] = c. 2975 kbps [Kilobits per second].

It looks like your line will support Elite. That would give you 6016 Kbps [or about 650 KBps] downstream.

Synch is different than throughput. Maybe, if ATM wasn't involved, things would be different. When I had 'at&t Yahoo! HSI Pro', my modem would synch at 3008 down, but my maximum measured download speed was only 319 kB/s.

Now that I have Sonic.net, LLC "Fusion", my modem will synch at ~6000 down, but maximum measured throughput is only ~590 kB/s.

The difference in speed between "Pro" and "Fusion" is mostly the difference between ADSL and ADSL2+.

The only product that skips ATM entirely and uses purely Ethernet is the U-verse product which is end to end Metro Ethernet.

Even the latest GigE Broadcom DSLAM's in the CO'es have ATM encoding and stripping to the the old ADSL1/2+ architecture of the modems.
