If you are looking for a new house inthe future you should look for a triple play market with fiber directly to the home. This would provide video, voip, and video. You can not get any better than that.

 

What about your upload?

 

dang dude... your upload is over 5 times my download!!!!!

What do you have and who is it through?

If it's cable what time of day or night was that taken?

Thats got to be a fluke.... I do not recall ever seeing anyone bust 1/2 gb of upload.... besides multiple T3 lines

 

mine is 10mbs down 1mbs up it is only $30 a month.here is what i just run

 

A single T-3 is 44.7 Mbps both ways (28 T-1's) So, many people lease a fractional T-3, for anywhere between 97 and 671 channels. This is assuming he (Netwurker) is using a T-Carrier system. There are a lot of other ways to reach these speeds, including DOCSIS (a standard for cable modems), SONET, ATM, etc.

 

I have a cable modem

 

this is mine from this morning. last night i was just breaking 100 on the downloads! see why i was asking about the time and how many are on.....any suggestions.

 

Matt, that was from my work computer...on a DOD network. I wish I had that UL at home.

I have cable at home, 8.0/256

 

now look! 3 hours later. wtf! excuse my french! LOL but what gives.....

 

Problem could easily be speedtest.net being overloaded or just the circuits being overloaded, not necessarily your connection. To get valid tests, you can't just assume one test is enough. Try multiple test sites. www.dslreports.com has multiple test sites.

 

For what it's worth, we just switched from our TV and internet cable provider to AT&T/Yahoo/Dish Networks package deal. We got Unlimited local and long distance phone, 3 MBPS DSL and HD Satellite packages with DVR for 85 bucks for the first year...it'll bump up to 105 for the 2nd year.

I had cable for the last 3 years and I don't see a difference in the DSL speed. We do the occasional downloading of small videos or work presentations, but mostly use the internet for web boards, e-mail and news.

Hope it helps!
