It is part of a package deal where I get Internet, local phone, and VOIP for a fixed fee. The last time I checked, to get more speed I would have to buy the services separately which would be a bump of about $50 a month for the next level of Internet service.

Hi Nigel,
Isn't it amazing that you can have such a high data rate on an ordinary phone line?

In the '90s I measured the audio frequency response of two telephone lines at work because the sound was muffled. 3kHz was down 12dB! I complained to Bell and they said it meets the spec' of -7.5dB for one-way.
Then I made equalizers for boardroom tele-confrence systems to boost 3kHz to make the sound crisp and clear. Every one I demo'd was sold.

I'm using a 2.6GHz proprietry wireless solution.
Here are my results:
892 kbps down.
207 kbps up.

Seems to have slowed, was 989 kbps in March, maybe to many new users in the area.
Damn. That such. Another year or so, and I'll lick dial-up speed.

HiTech, what are you using, a fox with benzine up the backside?

Those are super bandwidth.

> 50 Miles from test server.

Very reliable - never been unable to connect due to host (Nildram) being down, but had to have BT replace drop-line last year.

Very happy overall.

Wish I could say mine is that reliable, but then, it's wireless.
It's a bit like a woman - temperamental.

Sometimes just requires 10 mins time alone to be able to reset.

733kbps/103kbps. I have dsl instead of cable because fios is just around the corner (literally-people just a few blocks away have it already).

El cheapo 1 meg package.

The college server goes up around the teens somewhere. Browsing is the same
but downloading files makes all the difference.

I switched to cable about 10 years ago.
I dunno -- Comcast sold it to me for high speed, with Power Boost no less.

T3 service = 44.736 megabits per second

A T3 connection is often called a DS3 connection, and although they seem to be different, they can actually be used interchangeably. A T3 line is similar, yet faster than a T1 connection. A T3 is high-speed line, powered by DS3 Technology, capable of delivering 44.7 Mbps (44,700K) in both directions.
