A few months (well a lot a few months ago) they introduced Ultralink...the 3Mb service. It consists of a doubling of your subscription fee and a new config file for your modem lifting the cap to 3000/384. I have it and I like it.

Going through the www.attbroadband.com will not give you the latest information. Call them up to see if Ultralink is available. I heard the extra bandwidth will also reduce your ping somewhat but dont' count on it. |

| Ultralink is available throughout the Pacific NW. It is twice the cash and here's my numbers...

Your download speed : 3156203 bps, or 3156 kbps.
A 385.2 KB/sec transfer rate.

Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

I did my inquiry and upgrade through an ATTBi support chat session took less than 5 minutes. The only thing painful was the price. Personally I would only recommend Ultralink if you can currently get advertised speeds all the time otherwise there's no point. My pings are in the teens...but they were with the 1.5Mb service too. I don't think it the speed does much of anything for the pings.

the higher tier is not going to improve your ping speeds, the small size of the ping will go just as fast through a 1.5 meg pipe as it will through a 3.0 meg pipe. the difference will be with large downloads as you can download more at a time. also, the average website is limited to 300k or lower upload speed so you cant download any faster than that.
