| Why are Qwest upload speeds so good?
Hi, I've noticed that among the major telcos (Verizon, Bellsouth, AT&T, & Qwest), Qwest offers the highest upload/download speed ratio in general.
It seems surprising, especially since I imagine Qwest has on average the most rural customers, where higher upload speeds could be a problem for SNR.
Any particular reason or guess as to why this is? I'm just curious, and procrastinating too. |

Qwest has the highest interleave and fastest upload speeds in the industry! |

| upload of 1mb has a much longer distance, sending 1mb over the telephone line is much easier then 8mb, a ratio of 1/8
Even at 18k, 1mb is easily reachable then 1.5mb... It is designed to upload less due to marketing and to deprive you of uploading needs lol. I would love 1.5/1.0, 3.0/1.0 or 6.0/1.0 but their stingyness has caused us to crawl at 384k-608k and it stinks. I'm paying 49.99 just to get an increase of 96k from 3.0/512 to 6.0/608... I'd rather have 3.0/1.0, this bites.  I'm wasting 28.00 for nothing vs the cheaper 21.99 it would make more sense. |
