Re: DFW Uploads The state of Washington requires broadband to be above 200kb/s. I think they're the reason we all went up to 256.
But as far as I know, they're the only state that has that requirement.
Like it has been stated, AT&T doesn't guarantee speeds. If you were having packet loss or latency issues, then you could gripe.
Well, I guess you could gripe or maybe do an online chat session and just see what they say.
Also, take the speed test results with a grain of salt. According to the speed tests, I rarely approach my max upload. But in real world observation, I know that I am getting at or above what I'm supposed to be getting.

| I use the speed tests to post here, but I often upload things to my attbi webspace at a whopping 4k/sec lol, that was how I noticed the slowdowns. Weird thing is I was using emule yesterday afternoon, and I had 6 uploads going at a total of 29k/sec, closed emule did a speed test and gave me a horrible upload. Then I uploaded a file to my webspace and it was going very slow as well. So it's almost like they do something to limit upload speeds in some way during busy times? Like you can only use so much speed per connection or something like that, I have no idea, just a thought.
