"4,5 and even 10Mbps are becoming increasingly common in North America."
4000 and 5000 Ok I can see that now. If and when many of the ISP who are announcing speed upgrades. Do so for all of there customer base. Not just a select few. But very few see the 10000 down or the 1000 up that OOL provides and @Home used to deliver.
My ISP used to a leader when others were at 1500 they kept us at 3000. But there supposed answer to the latest cable and DSL upgrades is to maybe give us Comcast speeds of 4000/256. This is rumored. I'll believe it when I see it. Comcast does have a 50% stake in my ISP - Insight. There current packages are 3000/128 for $34.95 if you have there cable and your own modem. Same requirements gets you 3000/384 for $69.95 a month. There is no current information on what they would give the 3000/384 tier users ( I'm one of them ) when they upgrade to the 4000/256 as there main package offering. No one seems to ever be able to get leaked press from them here anymore.
I'd say the 9th largest cable company in the US. Definitely doesn't meet with the statement I quoted above. -- Test Your Security Benefit for Children's Oncology Group Cable Modem Diagnostics |
