Re: Back up in Milwaukee
My NorthPoint connection was 16,000 feet. My new TDS connection was over 18,000 feet when the tech had trouble connecting with his test modem. I complained to the tech and called TDS. Two days later, I had a modem shipped to me and I get at least 600 down and 400 up (other tests on other sites give me 700 down). I am under three miles from my CO. Maybe you should have TDS open a trouble ticket with Ameritech. Seems strange your upload would be more than your download speed.

Milwaukee, WI |  How do you know you're under 3 miles if your TDS connection shows up as 18,000+ feet.
Color me confused. |

| I can see HWY 45 from my window, so that makes me about 6 blocks east of HWY 100. My CO is MILWWI30 and I got a distance estimate from DSLREPORTS when I entered my phone number and address. The TDS Tech tested the line and he told me it was 18,000 for the new line. I guess they knew it was not right, so opened a trouble ticket with Ameritech to fix the problem. Sorry to hear about your troubles, but it sounds like you are too far from the CO for decent speed. |

|  I was just called on Friday by a Time Warner Rep. Seems that Road Runner is ready in West Allis. You may want to try to get out of DSL with TDS. It is worth looking into, since you are getting low transfer speeds. If you stress you are getting less than what they advertise, you should be able to cancel. Call Time Warner to verify service before you call TDS. Good luck! |
