SE provides info they are given - they can't do thie rown distance estimates themselves. They can be just as inaccurate or accurate as DSLR in the estimates they provide. Kinda depends on the ILEC....Fair enough. I just hope that Speakeasy doesn't attempt to pass blame, and refunds and reverts my service if they can't deliver.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-CO-Distance-13695457 Sun, 19 Jun 2005 13:54:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-CO-Distance-13694573 said by klinsek:

Sounds like Speakeasy is getting popular for reporting false distances. :hmm:

I was reported at 9000 feet and after reporting my problems it came back at about 12000 feet.

Still waiting for them to get me a stable link at decent speed.

i dont want to distract from this topic but what is this safe mode you speak of... i know its a mode in the computers that you can initaite but you are saying switching to safe mode helps your speeds? Safe mode is a configuration option of the line. It does not help speed (in fact it reduces it) but for a marginal line that loses sync, safe mode will increase reliability (e.g. it wont lose sync or not as often).

Found this useful post too (although it only covers up to 3Mbps, you can extrapolate what will happen at 6Mpbs): »What is Safe Mode?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-CO-Distance-13644992 Mon, 13 Jun 2005 07:33:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-CO-Distance-13644142 Thanks in Advance

Why is Speakeasy advertising 6MBps so heavily? Seems like they can't quite deliver the service (and even in the 10kft range there are not too many customers).

Prequal distance does not equal "actual loop length"

the actual loop length cannot be measured until you have a connection on the other end for the measurment to be accurate.

the prequal tool sales uses is based on your address to the CO--an imaginary straight line if you will.

some prequal distances are only a few hundred to a thousand feet off which qualifies you to order the higher speeds. my prequal distance is 3945 ft from the co with actual loop length being 9500ft THEN the phone company added a bridge tap or something that extended my loop to 12,000 ft and I had to downgrade my lines. I was extremely pissed about this. No remote terminal option either because I have onelink and nothing speakeasy can do to fix the issue. I got made credits though :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-CO-Distance-13560256 Thu, 02 Jun 2005 16:12:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-CO-Distance-13546975 --

It's really the ILEC's fault that it's off, it's their database.

Now.. the real heart of the question I have is how can my distance from the CO be so far off? Is the process of determining which CO I’m routed to different in preprovisioning and install? Did Quest pull something kinky and put me on a different trunk line to a different CO? More questions then answers at this point.
