Yes, you're getting good speeds for the pro plan. Have you ran an upload test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted March 22, 2006 CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 Speeds for the Pro Plan are "up to" 1.0Mbps(1000Kbps) So that is about the best you will get, but you will get occasional speed bursts that go a little above that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn1980 Posted March 22, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 thanks for the replies. i have also been getting upload speeds of 166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fikester Posted March 22, 2006 CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 I dont think the speeds much differ with the pro account, you may see the upload go to 200 depending, but the pro account does give you a bigger FAP bucket so instead of 169 MB/4hours you now get 350 MB/4hrs. Which is still not large enough bucket for some but gives you some freedom of watching video clips etc... its by far not DSL but is a notch better than 26.4K dial up connection.
