Hi kenjai7373, Did you see an increase in upload speed? Most clients will see an increase in both which helps. Overall the value of the package is still very good when you consider the cost of the AT&T phone line. You will notice that AT&T has been increasing their rates for phone service and you don't get all of the extras that you get with Fusion phone service. Thanks -- George General Manager DSL Extreme Will work for reviews.

teknozx join:2013-02-12 Los Angeles, CA	Hello. I hope this is the right place to ask. I was hoping to get a straight answer about Fusion availability for me. When I go to the prequal page, it says I'm a member so I need to change service. When I go, I see 10/1 ADSL2 service available but at 119$ or something a month. Is that the Fusion service? Also, if I do get this, what kind of speeds can I expect? It's been a long time since I checked the quality of my line. My username is the same for DSLX. Thank you.

There's a colorful banner talking about Fusion which you should be clicking on. 2) Speeds will vary (we can't guarantee any minimum), but a reasonable expectation for you, given your distance, would be about 9Mbps.

bbnovice join:2004-03-17 Sacramento, CA	Hi George and Nick-- I am currently served by ATT (landline and dsl)--I think Fusion is available in my area, but when I have tried to prequalify it says that I do not qualify for Fusion but I qualify for 3mb dsl (on other days it has me qualified for the next speed up). Am I too far away from the CO to qualify for Fusion? I would be happy to remain at close to my same speed if I could get all of the other elements of Fusion--it would be adding many more features for 20-30% less than I am currently paying. Thank you in advance!

Harry @pacbell.net	reply to dslx_gm Are the DSL filters that I use with my ATT DSL necessary with Fusion DSL?

Hi Harry, Yes, you would still need to place filters on your phones or devices that connect to the phone line. Thanks -- George General Manager DSL Extreme Will work for reviews.

dslx_nick Premium join:2011-12-24 Chatsworth, CA kudos:16	reply to bbnovice bbnovice - unfortunately, what you're probably seeing there is indeed a result of being too far out from the CO. I suspect you may be connected to a Remote Terminal, and your actual distance to the nearest CO may be very far (in which case we would not be able to offer Fusion to your location, hence why it's not coming up on the website).

dslx_gm Premium,VIP join:2002-12-26 Chatsworth, CA kudos:15	reply to bbnovice Hi bbnovice, I would recommend giving our sales team a call tomorrow morning and they can double check for you. Did you go to our »www.dslextreme.com/fusion page to qualify. If you don't qualify for Fusion due to area or distance it will show you our standard DSL (ADSL1) packages. Thanks, -- George General Manager DSL Extreme Will work for reviews.

Every little bit helps. Depending on what you were spending for your phone service before we still think the package offers some benefits over the older standard DSL and AT&T phone service though. We are finding that even clients that are further out are very happy as they are saving money on the overall solution and like yourself generally getting a faster service that the standard DSL service with Fusion.

I looked at the site again and don't seem to be able to find a colorful banner. Does this mean I can't get Fusion service or it's not available at my location? Thanks.

dslx_gm Premium,VIP join:2002-12-26 Chatsworth, CA kudos:15	Hi teknozx, I checked your account earlier today as well and am recalling that you did qualify. After you log into the Members section you will want to select the "Modify my Internet" link and then the "View available Subscriptions in my area" link. I would recommend doing that during the day as during the evening hours AT&T frequently undergoes maintenance on their qualification systems which may we why you aren't seeing it. You can also feel free to give our sales team a call tomorrow by calling 800-774-3379 and selecting the Fusion Broadband option and our sales team would be happy to assist. Thanks -- George General Manager DSL Extreme Will work for reviews.

I tried it again and finally the Fusion banner popped up! I had one more question if you don't mind. I read that higher speeds will be available with line bonding. Is that an option that I have as well to get better speeds? Thank you.

dslx_gm Premium,VIP join:2002-12-26 Chatsworth, CA kudos:15	In the future we do plan on rolling out a business package that offers two bonded lines. I don't have a specific time frame on that yet but it is likely 90+ days out and targeted at small businesses. Thanks

kenjai7373 join:2013-02-02 El Monte, CA	reply to dslx_gm well i thought i would be getting good speeds based on my estimate distance from the co. i only wanted good internet speed, not the phone. hopefully dsl services gets better since its the only viable internet service available in my area.

seanieb Interesting. join:2007-07-30 Escondido, CA	reply to dslx_gm Any ideas about (northern) San Diego? I'm asking because we maintain a line with AT&T whose cost is going to hit ~$27 for measured rate phone service next month, on top of DSL, so I was considering taking the plunge on U-verse after ~8 years on DSLX, so if we could pay ~$10 more a month, get a few more Mbit, and drop that phone line I would take it in a heartbeat. My commitment with DSLX is up in April. -- Sean Brackeen Founder, Lost Signal Webhosting - Shared, VPS, and Dedicated solutions. »lostsignalweb.com/

dslx_nick Premium join:2011-12-24 Chatsworth, CA kudos:16	Hey seanieb, I checked your account - it looks like you're connected to a nearby Remote Terminal, rather than to the Central Office (which is further away). Unfortunately, this prevents us from offering you Fusion at this time. Even if we did try to get Fusion set up for you, it'd probably deliver slower speeds than your current connection, due to the short distance to RT vs. long distance to CO.

kenjai7373 join:2013-02-02 El Monte, CA	reply to dslx_gm can someone check my line to see if its good so it wont affect my speed. im not a tech person so not sure if my line is good or not.

dslx_nick Premium join:2011-12-24 Chatsworth, CA kudos:16	When you asked about this earlier, I predicted you'd probably get between 3-6Mbps downstream, and you're getting 4.6 right now, so it looks like my prediction was pretty spot-on. I'm seeing some fluctuations in the line readings, though, so I'll open a ticket to have one of our techs investigate and see if there's something we can optimize on the line.
