I saw that AT&T offers a package that has downloads speeds of 3.0 to 6.0 Mbps and uploads of 384 to 608. What does this gurantee? I've got rr now and they say up to 8/512 and I generally get close. But when AT&T says 3-6, do this mean (in ideal conditions, like distance) that people get like 5.5, or like a little above 3? I'm looking for posts of people that have the elite package, how far they are from the co and how they like their service. I am about 11700 feet from the co according to broadband reports, what kind of speeds can i get with a distance like that?

it all depends on distance, basically they guarantee that you will get between 3-6mbps.

at 11700 feet you will get nowere near the 6mbps. for 6mbps you need to be about 5000ft fom the CO.

Allright, thanks. I'll still call AT&T and see how far they say I am to make sure its accurate.

its only a estimate and its probally off by about a 1000 feet or so, but if you are on a RT then you are probally with in the 5000ft range to get the full 6mbps.

I have this exact package and get about 4.6 on average down. Up sticks around 600. I like it.

have you done any tweaking?

also it takes about 2 weeks to get your full speed, cuz the dslam learns what ur line is capable of and adjusts to it.

[JokeyMcScrotsack]

No tweaking yet. I am a loong way from the co. That is cool to know about the 2 week thing, never knew that. I have been setting up my surround sound, have had little time for anything else. It going good.  The Onkyo kicks ass.

distance from CO doesnt matter, ur on a remote dslam most likey, and thats probably just up the steet.

be sure to set ur sound up right

Off topic, and I wont drag this out. I just watched Mission Impossible 3 on Blu Ray 1080p with 7.1 surround. The Onkyo would have been worth twice the price. AMAZING. As far as the DSL, I have no clue what your talking about, but as soon as I hit google I will. 

I got up in the middle of the movie and searched the whole house because I heard the back door open and shut. I couldnt figure it out... Onkyo. I rewound it 6 times (no shit ask my wife) every time I damn near got up. It is GREAT. As far as the picture, well Sony makes great tvs.

Actually I did picture you getting up like 6 times.  I probably would have too. Nice system you have.  Always carry a bat.    Make sure it is made of good old hickory.  And says Louisville Slugger. That way you get to brand their forehead at the same  time.

Welcome to the forum alicanny   
Nice speeds for RR.

[louie2cool]

see thats odd where i live it doesen't matter how far i live from the office. they told me i am on a fiber backbone line. because my buddy lives not even 3 blocks away from me and he can't get it. now for my speeds are great i get 6.0 down and 784 up if not more sometimes. i am also running off a 2wire modem.

[tommie gorman]

So post a speed test already. And welcome to the forum louie2cool   

[Dark06]

Welcome

louie2coo

i too am interested in seeing those speed test

[toasty2]

I get 5.1Mbps download and around 600 to 650 Kbps upload on average.

I'm pretty far away from the DSL office (I think), and there's not any fiber lines within like 100 meters.
