Question about ordering? - dslreports.com

mikef1 Mike join:2004-10-28 Littlestown, PA	reply to Maxo Re: Question about ordering? 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. -- mike HouseOfMike

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. -- "Padre, nobody said war was fun now bowl!" - Sherman T Potter »www.cafepress.com/maxolasersquad »maxolasersquad.com/ »maxolasersquad.com/network/ My DSL Network Guide »myspace.com/mlsquadhttp://myspac···mlsquad2
