Stratford, CT | . You dont want explanations but you DO REALIZE that DSL speeds are restricted by your distance to Central Office.. riight? This is why the words " speeds up to 3000 " are used. The clsoer you are, the faster the speeds you are eligible for. | |

| 5mbps/3mbps, too good to be true? Why is it that I couldn't find anything about Hawaiiantel announcing that they will have 5mbps/3mbps? That sounds too good to be true. I'm thinking it would be as expensive as RR, but I would benefit a lot from the higher upload speed.
Road Runner was disappointing for me, it was too expensive. | |

| A Couple of Comments The reason why you don't reach the 3Mbps/768K advertised
speed is because of TCP/IP overhead.It is the same with
Road Runner, you never achieved 5Mbps/384K speeds. If you
are able to get 80% of 3Mbps, you are doing pretty good.
I don't know who you spoke to at HawTel, but 5Mbps/3Mbps
is not on the horizon. 5-6Mbps/768K is probably more likely. As the theoretical max upload on DSL is 1Mbps.
The lag you are experiencing is due the fact HawTel's backbone provider has horrible peering, hence it takes
a lot of hops to reach sites on the mainland. | |

Honolulu, HI | Modem I had that same Westell. It's got horrible reviews all over the internet with dozens of people reporting issues that were consistent with the problems I was having. | |

| High Speed in Puna I have the old Westell also; should we have gotten a new modem when HawTel took over? Also, is 11/7 or whatever even possible... and how? Will we be able to get it down in Puna (HPP)?

Kailua Kona, HI | Re: High Speed in Puna It will be quantum leap over the current ATM/Frame relay
network using ADSL + 2 and MPLS technology. Which will make
11Mbps and 7Mbps very possible, with a 1.5Mbps upload. | |
