said by dynodb:said by Nemesis158:What i would do if i was you is try calling them and aks if they can do anything about providing you more upload speed. What i don't understand is if they have capacity to the node for 20Mb down, the hardware in the node should be able to support similar total upload capacity. (20mb down capacity means the node is most likely fiber fed)
It's a question of the DSL standard and corresponding equipment he's on. I assume he's on standard ADSL2+, which doesn't support upstream rates much higher that what he has.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to see if VDSL2 is available to him though; that does support much higher upstream rates. Unfortunately it's not a simple firmware upgrade- it requires hardware (the DSLAM) that supports VDSL2.
I just checked the modem stats, and it says: VDSL2 - 8A
I know my neighbor across the street, he can get the 40 down, and 5 meg up service.
I call Century link every now and then and nearly beg them for a faster upload, been doing that for almost 2 years. I dunno, I guess I'm going to be stuck on this 896k up
