richcornucopia Posted June 21, 2006 CID Share Posted June 21, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted June 21, 2006 CID Share Posted June 21, 2006 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.

richcornucopia Posted June 21, 2006 Author CID Share Posted June 21, 2006 Allright, thanks. I'll still call AT&T and see how far they say I am to make sure its accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted June 21, 2006 CID Share Posted June 21, 2006 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.

Shug7272 Posted February 3, 2007 CID Share Posted February 3, 2007 I have this exact package and get about 4.6 on average down. Up sticks around 600. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted February 3, 2007 CID Share Posted February 3, 2007 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.

Shug7272 Posted February 3, 2007 CID Share Posted February 3, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shug7272 Posted February 3, 2007 CID Share Posted February 3, 2007 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. :grin2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

toasty2 Posted April 14, 2007 CID Share Posted April 14, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
