| DSC the low latency / high throughput ISP I have been using DSC for almost 10 years now. My Internet usage and consumption of bandwidth has grown as the multimedia content and larger downloads have grown. Over the years I have moved and been forced to use various alternatives to DSC. Dial-up, Cable, and DSL.
DSC offers the fastest sustained access in the Atlanta market weather it is UDP packets (games) the latency is always very low creating an incredible online gaming experience which runs like water! When downloading from somewhere on the Internet via FTP which generally uses the largest packets available you can actually see the bandwidth hitting the 200+ K bytes ps and then slowly as your rate limit kicks in it trims down to a full T1.When discussing this with the President of DSC while on a technical support call with the most knowledgeable staff one could have working for you, he said to me "thats great if a user gets an advantage from DSC on bursting before the rate limiter throttles back!"
That in a nutshell is DSC my ISP for TEN years! The best CORE engineering staff which can quickly evaluate a problem even when it involves multiple organizations, their ability to coordinate technical resources far surpasses any cable or non business/customer oriented service providers.
I will continue to be a customer of DSC as well as recommend their service to any user or business I come across for years to come. Below I have included a test that I use to measure Internet access, as you can see the numbers speak the truth!
Here is a bandwidth test from bandwidthplace.com
Your raw speed was 1459840.94 bits per second.
There are 3 meaningful ways we can interpret this number:
Communications
1.5 megabits per second
How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet
Storage
178.2 kilobytes per second
The way data is measured on your hard drive and how FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.
1MB file download
5.7 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.
