zerocool5468 Posted February 8, 2007 CID Share Posted February 8, 2007 just hooked up my dsl about 5 minutes ago. i'm on the elite pack, 3.0-6.0. ran the test a couple of times and am averaging about 4.6 on the download and .65 on the up. pretty satisfied for the price. and from what i've heard it can take a few weeks to get your full speed. plus the phone jack is 15 feet from my computer, don't know if that matters of not. but thus far, it's real nice.

Shug7272 Posted February 8, 2007 CID Share Posted February 8, 2007 Yea man I am told it takes a few weeks to get up to speed. Not to bad. I hover right around 5 down with the same package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted February 8, 2007 CID Share Posted February 8, 2007 you have to give it at least 2 weeks to get your full speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasty2 Posted April 14, 2007 CID Share Posted April 14, 2007 I have the elite package and I get on average 5.1Mbps download and 600 to 650Kbps upload. And I'm pretty far away from the DSL office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinister666 Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 so, after like 2 weeks, my connection will get faster? or am i just interpreting what im reading wrong? cuz im on the sbc yahoo elite package, 6mbps connection speed, had it for 4 days now and it stays at a consistant 5 to 5.2mbps download and 637kbps upload, im satisfied but if it gets a lil bit faster after 2 weeks i wont complain with that.

compuguybna Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 I had AT*T DSL in Nashville after I dumped Comcast. I had a 6mbps plan, and it was ALWAYS at 6mbps! ( i didn't have to continually run speed tests on it because I knew it was performing as it should). I moved to a rural area and got stuck with dial-up. (currently fighting Hughesnet)...

sinister666 Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 so, without running sped tests, how do you "just know" that you were always getting 6mbps? im not trying to discredit what you are saying, but you cant "just know" that your internet is always performing at its peak, its not like driving a car where you can tell the difference between driving at 55mph and driving at 35mph....and maybe im just a lil bit compulsive with my daily speed tests here, but it gives me some form of gratification to see the numbers that im getting stay consistant from day to day. and whats the harm in stopping by this site for a quick minute every day to do a test that only takes about 15 seconds anyway? idk, maybe im just a nerd or a bit too compulsive, but i like to "actually" know, and not "just know" based on what i think. again, not calling you a lier, but if you had the 6mbps connection and you were actually getting 6mbps, then you must have been very special, or you were living inside the att routing station, cuz im right next door, less than 1000 ft of wire from my pc to their servers, and i dont hit 6mbps and thats the plan i signed up for. and its my understanding that the further from the local routing station, the slower your speeds....so, again, not to call you a lier, but i dont believe it.

tommie gorman Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 Dlewis used to get I believe 6.5 on the 6.0. Just for thoughts. And he was reputable. But also without testing that size of connection, no way to know for sure. Well daily D/L speeds of course. Everytime you D/L a file it says real life speeds.

sinister666 Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 very true tommie, but dont your real life speeds for downloads vary from server to server? say im downloading from microsoft, it could be a diff down speed than when i download from cnet, depending on that particular servers load at the moment?

tommie gorman Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 True. And if you frequent the same sight, it would tell. But yes it depends. Also I have never had that fast of a connection. For once it would be cool to have a 3 meg connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinister666 Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 you have never had that fast of a connection? so, if i may ask, what is your connection speed tommie? just curious....this is my first hi speed connection, and i love it.

compuguybna Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 Actually, I did live about 300 feet from the "central office/switch" as they call it. The Switching station was on the end of a dead end road. We had a back entrance at the rear of the apt complex which brought us out at a red light on a busy road. Passing by the station on the way out, I was literally within 10 feet of the door (fenced in of course). Obviously, the closer to the central office you live, the better speeds you get on DSL. (i'll be happy to plot your the coordinates on a map if you dont believe me! ) I did not have to do speed tests all of the time because I was satisified with the speeds I was getting. I knew what my web surfin speed was like, and I knew how to translate file downloads into kbps/mbps. So I didn't have to do a speed test to know I was running 6mbps. so, without running sped tests, how do you "just know" that you were always getting 6Mbps? im not trying to discredit what you are saying, but you cant "just know" that your internet is always performing at its peak, its not like driving a car where you can tell the difference between driving at 55mph and driving at 35mph....and maybe im just a lil bit compulsive with my daily speed tests here, but it gives me some form of gratification to see the numbers that im getting stay consistant from day to day. and whats the harm in stopping by this site for a quick minute every day to do a test that only takes about 15 seconds anyway? idk, maybe im just a nerd or a bit too compulsive, but i like to "actually" know, and not "just know" based on what i think. again, not calling you a lier, but if you had the 6Mbps connection and you were actually getting 6Mbps, then you must have been very special, or you were living inside the att routing station, cuz im right next door, less than 1000 ft of wire from my pc to their servers, and i dont hit 6Mbps and thats the plan i signed up for. and its my understanding that the further from the local routing station, the slower your speeds....so, again, not to call you a lier, but i dont believe it.

sinister666 Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 damn tommie, thats really not that bad tho. i just switched from centennial wireless/sprint to this dsl, i was only getting 127kbps download, so switching from that to my now 6mbps connection is unbelievable. but i would have been satisfied with your speeds too, but i got greedy when signing up for my new att service, lol, i like it, no complaints as of yet.

compuguybna Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 Tommie, you never provided me with the details of EVDO. Are you using a signal off your cell phone to act as a modem, have a USB connect card, or what? I assume you're just capturing data in a wireless format such as a cell phone captures a signal?? Do tell? Price?? This one is pretty good for usual. Its EVDO. And has no speed really. Just up to 2 megs I believe, And I have never seen it really. ::::::::::..

sinister666 Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 and why are you posting my stats? and no, my speeds are not all over the place, i was fooling around with cablenut and also doing some tests while running other apps in the background, like utorrent and such, and the results before the 18th of this month were from my previous internet provider, which was a crappy usb aircard, but now it stays steady at around 5mbps. so, it seems to me that you are out to bash me, and i dont know thy, i told you i didnt mean any offense to you, i think youre just hatin on me cuz you cant reach 5mbps, but oh well, i aint stressed about this thread. im only here for my own amusement.

compuguybna Posted June 22, 2009 CID Share Posted June 22, 2009 i'm not bashing you at all (see you're TYPING without thinking again).. . . you can look up ANY members speed tests, they aren't private. Not jealous of your speeds at all. I'm happy for ya. I had 12mbps Comcast in Nashville before I moved and changed to DSL.. Of course anything has to be better than what I get on Hughesnet! :2funny: and why are you posting my stats? and no, my speeds are not all over the place, i was fooling around with cablenut and also doing some tests while running other apps in the background, like utorrent and such, and the results before the 18th of this month were from my previous internet provider, which was a crappy usb aircard, but now it stays steady at around 5Mbps. so, it seems to me that you are out to bash me, and i dont know thy, i told you i didnt mean any offense to you, i think youre just hatin on me cuz you cant reach 5Mbps, but oh well, i aint stressed about this thread. im only here for my own amusement.
