Hmmmmm. Something fishy here with my connection. I have 768/384 ADSL (which is really SDSL and was sold as such) with Speakeasy/Covad, and my download/upload speeds are nowhere near those that have been mentioned above. I am also 12,000 feet from the CO, and the best I can do is a little over 700Kbps for a download, and that's an ftp transfer to and from my ISP. My downloads quite often are in the 400 to 500Kbps range, tho on a good day, they can be in the 600's. That's with an ftp transfer tho. Regular downloads are nowhere near that good, especially after accounting for overhead, and my best speed test from DSLR took place today from the Eastcoast server of 656000 (down) / 568000 (up) bps. You guys are really getting some good connections and must be routed wonderfully. I have been looking into switching to cox@home due to my horrible DSL experience re: reliability and speed. I would be envious if I were that type of person.

No, you aren't just lucky. I have SDSL 784/784 through Megapath/Northpoint and get very consistent uploads and downloads near 80+ KBytes/second. Thats pretty darn close to reaching full bandwidth usage in both directions. I'm about 12,000 ft away from the CO.
Very good if you ask me. BTW, my roomate now has cable through Road Runner, and his download speeds are great, but the upload speed kinda sucks. |
