 |  | Anon | Re: Good Luck to ya! Doubt ASI will raise this customer's cap to 1.5 Mbps or they would have already done it. This customer's line will probably not support more than 768 kbps due to distance from CO. The ASI techs check when they move a cap from 384 to 768 and from 768 to 1.5 Mbps and I guarentee you the tech moved it as high as possible but still give reliable service. Remember when doing these speed tests that there is some PPPoE overhead, some TCP/IP overhead, and you are checking every connection between you and wherever the speedtest on the internet might be. Run the speed tests several times and take an average. | |

| Up Again I don,t see it getting moved up from my experience with ASI either. He needs to keep after them if he finds out he is in good distance. They played with me about speed for a long time. Now not capped, Was not capped at start, bingo then it was and had top speeds before. | |

All the centers have hired a lot of new people to reduce YOUR hold time so YOU don't have to wait half an hour to get a hold of somebody. If you think that tech support doesn't know anything then don't call. Fix it your self. SBC has online help at swbell.prodigy.net sbcglobal.prodigy.net Remember you are calling SBC because your having troubles getting fixed. | |

I see posts like this time and time again. It's no wonder so many people are just lied to by tech support. Thank God for ASI! | |
