| Re: Why Well tell them since they charge you for 768/128 service, when infact you only get about 650/110, the speed difference could be used to "pay" this additional fee. Also, they MAY have a seperate tech support # for you to call if you pay this fee, or they may have you call the original number and get transferred over that way. To save money, you'll probably have to call and have a Tier 1 tech answer and you tell them your paying the additional fee for advanced support. Then what do you do? You wait on the line an additional 5 minutes before these other goons answer the line. Personally, it sounds like a crock of $hit. | |

Actually when you factor in the PPPoE overhead of 13 to 20% of your total bandwidth of 768/128 those speeds are about right on target.

| Re: Why-FACTOR THIS IN Your not correct.....physical connections speed is 768/128 ...if it would not be that then you would more then likely loose your syncronization.....blame the loss on your pc which uses a routable protocol called tcip...this is where the overhead is being used..... | |

| So tell me , you bought a 56k dial up modem . Did you ever 56kbps from any service you connected with it ?
The comparison of milk to shared bandwidth product isn't valid either.
Do you guys ever read your service agreements ? Or do you just scroll down and OK like some mindless lab rat ? | |

clubs:  | Re: Why Actually, it has almost nothing to do with PPPoE overhead, it is related to TCP/IP over ATM overhead, the amount of overhead PPPoE adds less than 1% (assuming a 1492 MTU). | |

| Re: Why said by ScopeyFresh :
Hey on my 768/128 package I get 736/134. Maybe it's a fluke.
864/160 is typically the "raw" provisioning speed of a "768/128" ADSL circuit itself, but that doesn't include data transmission overhead, etc. Taking that into account and under ideal subscriber loop conditions, maximum apparent throughput (e.g. using the dslreports.com speed test) will be approximately 740/140.
