Not only that, but... If you are on an RT (which most users now are) you will likely get 5+mbps. | |

DSL does NOT win. if the cable company decides to boost speeds everyone on that cable system gets it, not only those within so many feet of their switches/remote terminals. | |

Uprgrade your UKIHCA12 CO in Calpella, CA (serves the north end of Ukiah, and the towns of Redwood Valley and Calpella, 707-485)) for DSL SBC and I'll give ya a try, we're still waiting out here! They have really let Mendocino County down, so far only putting DSL in Ukiah and Fort Bragg. I currently have Adelphia Powerlink (Adelphia by far has beaten SBC here for broadband coverage), and pull 4500 down and 500 up on a 24x7 basis, and latency is low, but it's more expensive than SBC. | |

Unfortunately customers are wallet sensitive and with companies like COmcast charging more, capping, bad news servers, giant penalties to non-CATV subs... In the either get it or don't opinion...it becomes a take it or leave it...as in take the wallet beating and service limitations of cable or go back to dial up. | |

Re: DSL wins?Like who? Comcrap? I had them and they were reliable save for some mail server problems. But that doesn't excuse their price increases/penalties for non-catv users...and massive CATV increases for those avoiding the penalties, magic DL caps, 1GB news caps or any of the other nonsense Comcast is up to.
I was much happier when our local franchise was ATTBi...and if it were still ATTBi, I would still be a CM user as I have always used 2 providers with a dual WAN router (before DSL I used WISP with CM). Not any more though. Enough was enough and given an alternative I'm sure I'm wouldn't be alone on the hate Comcrap would leave in a second if there was another available BB provider list.
Cable modems and the technology is fine...but absolutely some cable COMPANIES deserve to get the slamming they get from consumers...and IMHO, Comcrap is at the top of the cable S-list. | |

I know it's hard to be patient, and ironic to have to be patient waiting for something to go FASTER...but hey, it's a hazard of living in a hurry up and wait society.

Pick me! Depending on the area, SBC generally has 2 to 3 DS3s to 2 or more OC3s. Unlike cable DSL is dedicated from the CO to the end user which makes your line more stable. If john doe down the road is a raving server maniac hogging all his bandwidth, it won't affect your pings. Assuming the avg. Joe user has a full 1.5 mbps versus our OC3 of 155 Mbps, it looks to be about a 100x1 ratio, or more. To further differentiate a "shared line" from a "dedicated line", if you lose sync in cable generally your neighbors have too, with dsl, your loop is your loop, if you lose sync it is probably just you. Unless something has messed up a F1 (generally 26 pairs running to the b-box) or something in the CO. | |

Anything will slow down if its oversold enough. including DSL. when i had my Qwest DSL (640/272) it would slow to sub dialup speeds and 500ms pings at peak times of usage. as for the cable reqs their no video penalties are the equivelent of a basic barebones phoneline (using comcast as example with= 42.95 without= 57.95 so on that part its pretty much a wash) | |

Re: DSL wins?They are advertising it that way so that they have an affordable comfort zone out to the maximum limit of the speed plan. Closer to 9K feet, people will see the 3mb/sec speeds. Closer than 6k feet, people will most likely see 5+ mb/sec. As far as it has been discussed in the SBC forums, it is just a re-branded, misnamed DSL Expert Package that originally was 3.5~6mb/sec that cost over $100/month. I am very anxious to see how it pans out, since I am close to the limit for top speeds on a wide open DSLAM profile. And yes... I re-upped for a one year contract after placing an order for this $44.99 speed demon, bandwidth hog's delight package. Let's see how SBC continues to deliver top notch service while upping the ante in my neighborhood.... | |

Well remind you that you are locked into a 1-year term, otherwise it is much more expensive.
When you compare that to many cable contracts where its month to month, cable is much cheaper.
Then add the fact that it is required that you have their telephone service, well where is the deal? Cable will give you a better deal on internet if you get TV also, but its not forced down your throat.
Plus, in many cases you don't know what speeds you actually will get until its installed and running, and if it does not meet your expectations, you are stuck.
SBC is trying to play catch-up because they are losing. Once the cable companies offer a quality VOIP service, then there will be droves leaving SBC.
Comparing apples to apples, it does not measure up.
Give me something that is actually going to compete with cable on the same level.

Well I just got ramped up to the 6.0/608 package a couple of hours ago. An my speed to the local SBC test site (Southfield Michigan) yielded a 4902/517 result. I am on an RT but do not know the distance. Does not really matter because those results are close to maximum anyways. WOW!!! What a difference! GET IT IT RULES.
BTW: My brother has had Comcast Cable Internet pretty much from the start. He lives in the burbs about 25 miles southwest of Detroit, MI. I have seen for myself how cable internet slows to a CRAWL!!! Sometimes it was worse than dial-up. The cablers in this thread must be very lucky because all of people I know in this state and surrounding areas always slow to a crawl at peak-usage time. My test was done about 4:30pm EST. Great numbers. And I bet they will drop very little when I test it again tonight about 7:30pm. CABLE can never do that in every household. Granted all households will not be able to attain those speeds or even get DSL but it still rocks cables world!!! Give DSL a little more time because at this rate cable will be a hurtin' unit in a few years! | |

Unfortunately...Unless you're relatively close to the CO or have an RT in your neighborhood, you're not going to be able to attain 3 Mbps down via ADSL. Perhaps that is what SBC is banking on: the number of users who will qualify for the highest speed tiers will be a relatively small fraction of their total ADSL customer base.

If you raise you speeds to match Comcasts', I'm yours! I'm am sick-and-tired of Comcast. I have Direct TV and resent the fact that Comcast wants to charge me $59.95 because I don't want their crappy cable tv. | |

Keep it UpGo SBC keep lowering prices and upgrading service. I have Charter and everytime SBC lowers prices and upgrades Charter trys to match.Because of that I pay for 2mb/128 for 49.99 and get 3mb/282..... gotta love those price wars. | |

Only for 1 year???From the sbc web site, it seems as though after 1 year the price will go up to the month-to-month price, $139.95. Is that the catch? | |

From this post, it will remain 44.95 indefinitely until you change package again. But why would you want to when there isn't anything faster? » New Promos | |
