kudos:1 | Share some speedtests once its installed.
Also, what modem are you using for this?
I'm curious if they are using the 4-channel (SB612x) or the 8-channel (SB618x) modems for these higher tier packages. |

Nice! I'm also in Miami Beach; and currently on their 12Mb/1Mb package. I wonder if you can bring your own modem? I currently have my own Motorola SB6120.
Also, any idea why the upload speed is so low? It should be at least 10/15 Mbps up for that kind of download. |

30312-5317 | By way of comparison, Comcast offers FAR more reasonable upload speeds. See the following:
Economy - 1.5 Mbps downstream, 384 kbps upstream
Economy Plus - 3 Mbps downstream, 768kbps upstream
Performance Starter - 6 Mbps downstream, 1 Mbps upstream
Performance - 15 Mbps downstream, 2 Mbps upstream
Blast - 25 Mbps downstream, 4 Mbps upstream
Extreme - 50 Mbps downstream, 10 Mbps upstream
Extreme 105 - 105 Mbps downstream, 20 Mbps upstream

I've read in the past that ABB has some horrible outages. Is this still the case? We have uverse, and I want to peel off the internet to ABB, but only IF the stability is there.
We love the features of uverse, except the dsl. We were used to 50+ where we lived prior.
...anyone compare att v abb in television offerings? My comparison is that ATT blows ABB away in that regard. |

For the last 3 1/2 years i had outage may be 2-3 times. And im not sure even that many. At the beginning ABB had horrible speeds. But now i just love them. |

| Thanks for that. Really disliked att dsl when I got so much more out of networking without att's 3800 in the way... |
