Question about ordering? in Embarq http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r14387779 en Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:51:34 EDT Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:51:34 EDT Re: Question about ordering? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14393288 mikef1 : Newsgroups are included.
I don't know if there are restrictions or which newsgroups are possibly not included.

There have been a thread(s) about Sprint looking at dropping earthlink services.
Not sure where this stands.

If a speed tier isnt available to you because of distance or line quality will it still show up as being available? Im asking because Im getting 5.0 installed this thursday and im wondering how much of that 5.0 will I really be getting.
With DSL you will usually get ~88% of that speed. Sprint has a trick that allows you to get ~95%. There is always the possibility that your line can't fully support the whole of the 5.0M but usually if you qualify for the service you qualify for the whole lot.

Also sprint DSL just became available so Im guessing this meand they installed a Remote terminal somewhere near me right.
Plug your info into »/coinfo If the CO isn't pretty dang close to you then you are being served by an RT. If you are served by RT, it's probably been there awhile, they just put the DSL equipment in it recently.

And I heard some people say that they are getting lower pings on the 5.0 service is this true for everyone? What average ping should I expect
There's a thread around here somewhere where they discuss it but can't find it offhand.

Newsgroups- Does newsgroup service come with the service or does it cost extra? If its free what are the restrictions on it?
I don't remember, but if they do I'm pretty sure they are poop. Few ISPs offer newgroups worth anything, though I've heard of a few that do.
