Re: Yeah I pay $100 for SBC 6mbs said by DSLarggggg:
unlikely, Cable still has the market on their side. Beside Cable currently can provide 10Mb throughput while ADSL can only do 8.
On the contrary ...
While Cable can theoretically provide 10 Mb, I have never
seen any cable provider actually operating at that rate.
The typical range for cable is between 1MB and 4MB.
To come to think of it, I don't even know any cable
providers right now that even go up to 5 Mbps,
much less 10 Mbps.
Meanwhile, DSL already has 6 Mbps publicly available
and on the market right now. Just a side note that
you might not be aware, DSL is also capable of much
more as well.
Just for your information, I was part of a testing project
four years ago involving DSL transmission in excess of
25 Mbps over 30 year old standard copper pairs. The test
was very successful and I imagine it's only a matter of
time before you begin seeing some of that new DSL transmission
technology emerging on the public market. Being that
was standard copper, just imagine what fiber could do. |

Corrected, and that's if you use it way too much.
Download, they don't give a rat's ass how much you download. |

you only get capped for excessvie use for uploading too much not downloading. I usally download @ 67 GB's per month and never have had any problems. But even with OOL upload capped it's still better than most DSL companies provide for uploads. |
