<div><br></div><div>Now I only get 10m down on peak times, and 14m down on off hours. (Even when paying for the '24m' plan though)</div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all">--<br>Matthew Seeley<br>Threadlight Systems<br>

Dealing with At&t is a very unappetizing proposition...<br>Being told one thing, then being charged another can be quite frustrating.<br>D <br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 9:06 PM, Bob Kline <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bob.kline@gmail.com" target="_blank">bob.kline@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>throughout the day, and one sees factors of as</div><div>much as 4 in the bite rate in tests on <a href="http://speedtest.net" target="_blank">speedtest.net</a></div><div>( Just for reference, Comcast sponsors the Chicago</div>
<div>
test point, and always shows the highest rates... )</div><div><br></div><div>So, does AT&T's service act more like a dedicated</div><div>connection, like one more less fantasizes a DSL</div><div>connection could have, since you have a "wire"</div>
<div>right back to the CO? i.e., does anyone know </div><div>whether that is the case? Many things come in</div><div>to play here, including congestion on the bigger</div><div>"wires," but I'm pretty much assuming that test</div>
<div>server congestion is not an issue.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course service congestion is a time of day</div><div>issue more broadly, but I'd like to at least think</div><div>my connection is pretty uniform.</div>
<div><br></div><div>After repeated calls to Comcast, pretty</div><div>clearly it has no intentions of making either</div><div>higher speed residential packages or </div><div>business packages available in the GR area</div>
<div>any time soon. "No rollout is scheduled" is the</div><div>lingo. A 50/10 (down/up) Mbps residential </div><div>package has been available in Houston, TX,</div><div>for some time now. A friend has it, and get</div>
<div>the full 50/10, and then some.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, for the time being the way to get </div><div>better performance might be for me to switch</div><div>over to AT&T's 24 Mbps service. Comcast's</div>
<div>business service offers more uniform performance,</div><div>but, again, that's nowhere in sight.</div><div><br></div><div>I'd be interested to hear about the experiences</div><div>of anyone in the group who has AT&T's service.</div>
