Ball parkin it, eh?

6.1 Mbps to 10.0 Mbps
So, you sign for 10mbps and only get 6.2 that's good enough?

According to the terms coming soon, yes. Unfortunately. I guess those lawyers got tired of working to get paid.

I have to agree with AT&T this one. Due to the nature of DSL, they must advertise speed ranges. If you are in the range, they have delivered fairly.

The alternative is require you to take a lower package. I'd hate to be forced to get 3.1MB-6MB because my 9MB wasn't 10MB.

Yup - I used to have that for ADSL contract.
1500-3000kbps down and 384-512kbps up.
That was the 'sync' rate though, and does not guarantee much.

Think of it this way...
You are GUARANTEED 6.1Mbps. Now if your constantly getting slower than that you have a right to call in and have them fix it. If they say its 'up to', call their B.S. cuz they say at least 6.1Mbps.

Sort of like Comcast promising 16 megabits and delivering...nothing.

But remember just a few years back when the cable company had a "shared" line? DSL is supposed to have that DEDICATED constant connection that was so much better than cable. I even have the commercial.
