| Re: Question about ordering? said by davidcb13  :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.
said by davidcb13 :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.
said by davidcb13 :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.
said by davidcb13 :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.
