dlewis23 Posted July 1, 2006 CID Share Posted July 1, 2006 most people see speeds anywere from 5.5 - 5.8mbps. and about 550 upload. but it all depends how far you are from the CO or RT. thats why they say 3.0-6.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humorman Posted July 1, 2006 CID Share Posted July 1, 2006 I had the elite package and I did tweak and I seen about 4.4-7 mbs down and about 640 or so upload. But they bumbed me back down to pro because they say I can't get 6mbs were I am and that it was trying to push 6mb but couldn't causing my line to be unstable. I called them because sometime my net would go to like 5kbs lol so yea it was unstable. But not sure thats what it was because it did that before to.

Blunted 2 Posted July 2, 2006 CID Share Posted July 2, 2006 it says im 14445 feet from teh CO..but it says my line is covad? that cant be right, i live in north little rock, arkansas, i cant be that far? im in the city dsl reports is probably wrong as they havent updated in a while and the only way to know exactly is to ask your isp and they can run a test to see exactly how far you are.
