Is your DSL deployed over Frame Relay or ATM? Much of the older Verizon DSL is deployed over Frame relay, and they are not allowing anybody to upgrade beyond 768/128 if they are on Frame. Here in Washington, the 2 most common modems are the Fujitsu (frame relay) and the Westel (atm). If you are able to switch, you might be able to get faster service. The downside is that you are using a clueless ISP, they might not know the difference. You might have better luck getting accurate information from an independent ISP.

Cable's bandwidth is more stable, and seems to be a better match for VoIP services, IMHO.
I see that you have a disclaimer, but do you have any experience to indicate that Cable would be a better fit for VoIP than DSL? My experience would indicate the opposite is true. |
