Highland, CA | upload and current deals so, my contract is up this month, and i am looking for the current best deal.. does anyone have a good site that tracks everything that is being offered?
also is there a way to contact level 2 support and upgrade your upload speed? I work from home/work a lot, so need to VPN both directions, a 1.5mb cap is very slow for a dual monitor RDC session.
Frankly, i would be willing to pay more, but there isnt an option  |

there is a thread a few pages back with a direct email to all of the Tier 2 reps. I dealt with Justin and he was a huge help. |

3 Mbps is the highest upload you can get if you subscribe to the 24/3 package. (If your line qualifies for that). As someone who works from home as well on Mondays and Fridays, and often has to "check out" and "check in" large files from a Sharepoint server, 3 Mbps upload is really tedious and really making checking files back in a slow process.
Several collegues in Huntington Beach report it works great. Of course they have 25 Mbps upload with Verizon FIOS.
Upload will continue to be the achilles heel for U-Verse. They might be able to come up with 5 Mbps, and sell it as the greatest thing since sliced bread, but the reality is that the current *DSL over copper technology has severe limitations when it comes to upload.
TWC currently offers 30/5, and I have been considering moving away from U-Verse, but I do really like their phone service and would not be saving money if I left phone with ATT.
Rumors are that TWC will offer a 50/25 utilizing bundled upstreams in the Los Angeles area at some point in the NEAR future. They have been in other markets, but Los Angeles is usually a bit on the slow side due to its massive TWC footprint. If that is the case, I might be more compelled to switch.

They will increase as soon as they see it as another revenue source |

Highland, CA | thanks for the input, im only 86 feet from the fiber loop, so my upload sync is over 16mb/sec I would just love to be able to use some of that instead of it being wasted.
anyone else have that youtube issue I mentioned? seems wierd. |
