Re: So the only good thing..
said by justin  :
No VOIP products have yet gone to 128kbit, as far as I know. They all have maximum rates less than that.
...and to me, there is a very pragmatic reason for that: there are just a boatload of people like me who only have 128K up...that'd be most of the rest of residential VZ people. And this rate sucks too, because I can't make usable 3-way calls; it seems I would need at least 256K up.

Upstream should be 512k at least by now. I am on 768 and it is very nice indeed. I can upload pictures to forums or websites without timing out, for one example. |

| I guess the question is, if they did increase upstream, at what price? I would have hoped for more upstream at $60/mo. as it was before their current plan of $35/mo., but it looks like if I want the next offered tier, 384K, it's going to be biz-class and $90/mo. If you think about it, VZ have a vested interest in not providing enough bandwidth for VoIP. sigh....
Power Stink? maybe. Experience in this area varies widely, from not so many problems, to the typical cable modem nightly slowdowns and packet loss.
It just stinks, especially compared to other areas of the world.
