DSL Speed?

[willie]

I've been using the DSL for 2 days now. It's a consistant 2.8-2.9 mbs. Comcast (still hooked up) is 13-15 mps. That is testing both from the Washington D.C. host. In practical, everyday use, I couldn't see any difference in downloading pages from sites I normally work with. DSL is the winner at $27 cheaper.

I just checked my DSL speed and this is what I got. I am supposed to get 3M. It's close enough for me. My sister had cable modem and it said it was twice as fast as mine but I saw no difference in pages loading. I will stick with my DSL.

I can't complain. We went from Dial up to DSL and it was like discovering light for the first time. We got the special deal where it was 14.95 a month for the first year. I don't understand about mps or Mbps, but I know I don't have to wash dishes while waiting for files to download any more.

Good info:

of course I am downloading 89 - 125 kB sec from Torrrents while running the test ....

11150 kbps Up and 979 kbps Down. Is that good?

It's probably very good and backwards.

Backwards?

Backwards?

Probably means 11150 kbps DOWNLOAD is good and 979 kbps UPLOAD is good. Actually, very good.
