Re: Distance..
8Mbps would be nice but for over a year I paid $39. a month for a 256/128 connection, and I live less than 600' from the little brick building where the DSL comes from. Yesterday the connection went down and after an hour I called tech support and they basically said be patient, and sure enough 20 minutes later it was back up except to my pleasant surprise with increased bandwidth. The last few speeds tests have been like this 2005-03-10 02:59:35 EST: 1021 / 340
Your download speed : 1046124 bps, or 1021 kbps.
A 127.7 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 349080 bps, or 340 kbps.
I'm very pleased but there wasn't any notice so I hope this isn't some kind of temporary fluke. For the first time ever I can enjoy 300k+ streams.
