mbrainerd Posted January 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 19, 2005 It sucks big time, but I need the speed. I upload and download loan applications all the time. Normally pretty huge files. Now I am running VOIP from Lingo and adding a second number from them for a dedicated fax line. I pay more for phone and internet, to live where I am at, but I do not have to pay personal property tax on cars,motorcycles,boats like in some states. They should have me switched Friday or Monday I will do tests and post results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrainerd Posted January 20, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 20, 2005 For what do you need the speed Even though its none of my business. I work as a loan officer out of my home. The phone co. here is small so everyplace I call from here is long distance. So I use VOIP for all of my calling needs. I run 2 other small businesses from home and I am getting ready to do a advertising magazine as well, so I will be uploading images ads, and sending all the time. Just like to get things done fast. In the long run everything will work out, I just get pissed when I see peoples speeds here and what they pay!!! Oh well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted January 20, 2005 CID Share Posted January 20, 2005 My bad. When I posted i didnt see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim2006 Posted January 20, 2005 CID Share Posted January 20, 2005 That is ood for a upload that line is fater than T1 and the cheapest T1 I found was 300 a month but average was at 600 a month for T1!!! And T1 is only 1.5mbs all around!!!! SO actually I wish I could get those speeds upload that is for what you pay!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And T1 is only 1.5mbs all around!!!! SO actually I wish I could get those speeds upload that is for what you pay!!!! Now I do not feel to bad. Maybe later when business picks up I may upgrade to the max. Tech was here b4 and said my line coming into the house was good for 7 meg down and 1 meg up. They would probably want a fortune for that. I am hoping as time goes by they wil decrease the price, I live in a small town that is growing by leaps and bounds. so maybe later they will drop the price. I am a number cruncher so I look into different places where I am saving $$ by living here and in the end it all works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean5900xt Posted January 20, 2005 CID Share Posted January 20, 2005 I have cable and my ISP charges 100 bucks a month with a one year contract for 1.5 down and 1.5 up. It sucks cause there the only broadband i can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well!! mbrainerd, Ahhhh that makes perfect sense, if your using VOIP your savings will be worth the cost, its just a shame they wont give you more speed for that kind of money..... but its still a smart move on your part, when I last worked the VOIP that I used came from the company and since they were in the business they wanted everyone to have it, it started out a little shaky but has evolved into a good product and very cost efficient as in your case..... thanks for all the info..

sean5900xt Posted January 22, 2005 CID Share Posted January 22, 2005 SRY for the late reply Speedy Final. The ISP is cablelynx. You can check out their web site at www,cablelynx.com I have their commercial package. They havent updated their site yet and probably never will but the up stream is now 1.5. I wish they would raise the downstream to 3.0 so bad but they proabably wont for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted January 22, 2005 CID Share Posted January 22, 2005 Okay, cool. I knew it was Cablelynx. Nice upload your going to get. And if you do get a good upload show it to RTB, to get him mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
