[DSL] Speeds

Impossible to tell, ask the tech.
Don't, and I mean don't sign a 2 year agreement in case you need to cancel.

I am not sure anyone here will be able to give you an accurate response for several reasons. I would suggest that you check with your neighbor to see what speeds he is receiving. You could also ask the technician, I am amused that equipment was installed in your area and no one other than the technician is aware of the installation.

Don't worry about the term contract you have 30 days to cancel.
Also as long as you document the first 30 days by doing speed tests and even ping tests to say 3 different sources atleast once but two times each day one in the morn and one during peak hours. Your covered if the dsl server degrades at all during you term contract period from the first 30 days that you have proof of the performance. This puts you in the drivers seat you can say fix it now or I will cancel my service. Frontier can fix or will threaten you will be charged an ETF, just say I wont pay based on the proof I have of the scale of performance that I saw in the beginning. I have helped many people on the ETF and none that came to me have ever paid an ETF. So dont let that scare you off, just do your homework to collect this data in the first 30 days and your safe. Even the 30 day limit can be or said that it doesn't start until you say if from the start you dont get what they said you can. So do this without fear

Actually I can only get 1.5 mbps down sadly, but it's actually faster then my old 3g card that runs at about .4mbps, install on Tuesday I'm hoping for at least 900k,im a Xbox gamer so it shouldn't matter unless the ping is wacked.

The tech told me that I can't do Xbox and stream video (which dosent really matter to me) as I will only have a smartphone and a laptop and a Xbox and a dvr connected to it.. I think the router we are getting is a net gear 7550 I belive, also another question is are phone wiring in our house is pretty old, can they replace That?

Yes they can change out the old cable, but you will pay for it. Simpler and less costly to do it yourself. But use CAT5E cable from the NID to your jack. Less noise and loss.

It shouldn't be a problem because the phone jack Is right below the NID, also will they replaced the phone line if there's problems with it or will it take some Convincing?

If you ask them to replace the lines in your house, they will. Sometimes they charge you, sometimes they don't. Depends on the technician. Just ask them to install/replace the lines.

I guess when you say phone line you are talking about the lines from the central office to your property. If they are bad they will replace or repair the bad section.

reply to isp10002
Hes talking about the Inside wiring.
Yes you will and should be charged if you want the wiring after the NID replaced.
Run your own CAT5 homerun to the NID.
Pretty sure most NIDS have the DSL filter in it.
Just have the Frontier tech connect it for ya and throw him 5 or 10 bucks.

I am not so sure he is only talking about the wiring in his house. I responded to his first question about replacing the line in his home.
He advised it should not be a problem because the jack is below the NID. Next he asked again about replacing the old phone line. That is why it appeared he was talking about the line from the CO to his house or from the pole to his house.

The first question I was talking about my wiring inside my house, on the second question I was talking about the phone line from the office to my house. Also my phone lines are underground

Yes, even if underground if there is a problem with the line they will repair or replace if needed. If it is the portion from the distribution box to your house I am not certain if Frontier would charge you if the line had to be replaced. When I lived in Virginia, Verizon had to replace the line to my house because the did not bury it deep enough and it was damaged by the ground freezing in the winter. Same as the coax for my cable TV.

Generally only connections to the main service's charge or make you responsible for the drop or connection from your home to the main line. Most phone companies are responsible for the drop, but there are some exceptions to this say a distance that is longer than the norm or underground.

alright so i got it installed about 10 hours ago, and its really good,it turns out we can get 3 mbps! speeds are at a steady 2.5 download and .5 upload,i am a huge xbox gamer and i get little lag rarley. they set me up with a netgear 7550 modem router. good service so far,and also the reason we could get 3 mbps is because he installed a extender,and we are actually at the end of the loop! but speeds are great.

Excellent, very happy to hear that. I hope your service remains solid without any problems.

Frontier's doing a good job at keeping speeds high hovers at 2.5 download and .5 upload.

I have had frontier 3 Mbps dsl for 4 days now, still keeping at a steady 2.5 mbps and .5 upload, very happy with our service.
