REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted January 30, 2005 CID Share Posted January 30, 2005 I thought Qwest only had only a 256KB download/upload package and a 1.5MB download/869KB upload package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted January 30, 2005 CID Share Posted January 30, 2005 id like the 869 up O_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted January 30, 2005 CID Share Posted January 30, 2005 True. But if your a gamer, I wouldn't reccomend Qwest. It's horrible for on-line gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted January 31, 2005 CID Share Posted January 31, 2005 Damn, you are only supposed to have 128K upload... how the hell are you getting over 500 Kbps? Very niiiiiice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ates Posted January 31, 2005 CID Share Posted January 31, 2005 qwest has the 256/256 and the 1.5/896 services. But they use interleaving. Not good for gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted January 31, 2005 CID Share Posted January 31, 2005 qwest has the 256/256 and the 1.5/896 services. But they use interleaving. Not good for gaming. Just want to explain interleaving for those who don't know. Quote from dslreports.com :: written by Justin ADSL modems commonly employ data Interleaving, which is a technique to increase resistance to noise bursts on a line. Interleaving "smears" out micro bits of data (interleaves them over time) so that a short burst of signal destroying noise can only remove part of any given larger block. Data blocks reserve some space for error-correction data.. which can salvage a partially damaged block. Interleaving increases the chance that noise on the line will only cause partial damage, not complete loss. Thats the good news. The down-side of Interleaving is that it increases latency! this is because your little (say) quake movement packet is smeared out over several packets before it can be fully sent or fully received. ADSL modems with typical Interleaving defaults can be 10-30ms behind in latency over equivalent speed SDSL modems... this means latency to any point for some ADSL modems can be at best 50ms! On the same setup, the aforementioned SDSL modems that typically add only 10ms. So for use of a nearby server, ADSL Interleaving can be the biggest single source of latency that you have. Unfortunately, there is little clear information supplied with, or available on-line, about what latency a given DSL modem or ISP connection has built-in. Some ADSL modems allow the user to turn off Interleaving, or turn it down to a narrow range, at the expense of possible data-loss on noisy lines. The Cisco 675, for example, has a full operating system inside it, and one of the attributes of the ether interface is Interleaving. See Randy Lutton's US West page). Some ISPs may be delivering this unit with Interleaving on, and some off. In other cases, it is the DSLAM (central office equipment) that has the Interleaving set, and this cannot be changed.
