| No problems with OOL speeds.
I get great speeds with OOL. I consistently get between 8-10Mbps on my cable modem to my co-located server. But, I've tweaked the TCP settings on both my end, and my server end.
If you're getting horrible settings, try changing your TCP stack settings (MSS, window sizes, window scaling, etc). If you continue to get slow speeds, perhaps the site you're going to ... how shall I say this ... sucks?
Now, their customer service on the other hand... that's another story. |

Brooklyn, NY | Hi
Don't be reading the details above the UPDATED Title. They are from 2004. Read the updates I just wrote on December 2006. Now I do get 13000 |

| I am sorry to say, but you are an id10t. When I lived in Brooklyn and OOL was 10, I was getting 8-9 consistently. I also uploaded/ downloaded nonstop and guess what , I was never capped. Now I live on SI and I only wish OOL was here. OOL will compete with VZ unlike roadrunner which is happy to offer 10 mb only now. I have a friend who has boost and his speeds are 22-27 and VZ with their cherry picking attitude comes nowhere close with DSL. Fios may be, but down the line customers will pay the cost of VZ doing upgrades now. |

| Hey
It's not my fault their crappy network in Brooklyn doesn't even close to 22 23 with boost. The max I got at 2am at night was 17 and up was 2.7
I would like to add. with VZ 3 down 768 up I used to upload consistently without a problem and never had problem for years. I switched to OOL when VZ had problems with my account |

I'm in 11224. I have Boost, and routinely get the advertised speeds. Tech support, capping, those are policy issues. Network wise, they can handle it and then some. At this moment I'm downloading at 1.8MB/s from an FTP in Utrecht - That's from the one across the pond 
Stateside, I get ~2MB+/s from the hosting OOL uses for BOOST, Tampa Florida based Neucom Inc, which incidentally filed for Chapter 11 last year
I reach saturation around 25mbits per second from large, load balanced public ftp mirrors. Two of these are ftp.aol.com and ftp.ea.com.
I have zero problems with speeds, and so do most of the people using OOL.
As to capping and their stellar (ha!) tech support, I agree with that 100% and was kicked off the network for a week a year ago when I reached 4 caps. I'm still bitter, but let's face it. Verizon isn't in a rush to wire areas like Coney Island, and while ADSL is great (and I have Verizon ADSL, had it since the Bell Atlantic days), it doesn't always meet my needs.
I don't know what the problem is , it could be a technical glitch that's being worked on.
And I'm no Cablevision fanboy...
Happy Holidays,
Dave |

Roslyn Heights, NY | The consensus is that Boost isn't capped. In the five or so months I've had it, I was not afraid to use my upstream, and so far, so good.
