| Re: Good Deal! said by indysz : I work at an ISP and sell DSL daily... Speed has nothing to do with the CO or RT.
Sure it does. Anyone on an RT can get whatever speeds are sold by that ISP. That aside and having nothing to do with what we are getting at. The whole node thing. Sure everyone in an area shares their CO or RT. And from those COs and RTs everyone shares up to the Access Concentrator (usually a redback but juniper is starting to make it's way into the market.) Everyone on the different ACs have to share that AC with others on it. And then from the AC everyone has to share the internet pipes. The better DSL ISPs have made sure that the COs, RTs, and ACs have enough capacity to never be running at full. Whereas with cable nodes are almost always oversold so speeds fluctuate for a lot of people. People not on oversold nodes don't have these problems. So it's not really an issue on DSL for Cable as much as who's ISP is overselling their equipment. -- Girls don't really like me That's why I hate myself Maybe it's cause of the way I look Or maybe it's something else »maxolasersquad.com |
