Let me tell you something about ADSL, I am working here for telecom

yunzhang(yunflier)
I am working for telecom here and doing some ADSL network designs, also one Bell Sympatico user at home.I need to communicate clearly with budies that for sympatico we only have 1.5Mbps downloading while 640kbps uploading because this is limited not only by the ADSL modem itself but also the DSLAM in bell's CO. No one carrier will just let just less than 40 home users chew up one single OC3 uplink to their ATM backbone at the speed of 6-7Mbps, that's the reason why they just deliver 1.5Mbps limit to home users besides the distance limit of ADSL. Trust me,just take it easy, imagine if you want 2Mbps download with unlimited Internet usage per month, you should pay as much as 3000-5000RMB in china for ADSL, while here you only pay 40$/month for 1.5Mbps unlimited usage.

                  • Yes, I promise you. They are good-lookings' pictures. -wjiang(wjiang); 2001-3-7 (#31102@0)
        • actually, it never reaches 2M. The fastest I noticed so far is 70k. You are sharing with the people in your region, so the bottleneck is at evening. Plus, expect a couple of days outage each month. -sw989(Londoner); 2001-3-7 {115} (#31090@0)
          sympatico is more reliable, but I've been using this @home for over three years, just too lazy to make the switch.
          • My friend told me that the ADSL (same as with Bell Sympatico) speed at Vancouvor is as high as 3 M, and it is expected to reach 8 M in a very near future. However, the speed you get is affected by the distance from your home to the server. -rolling(Rollor); 2001-3-7 (#31099@0)
            • ADSL随距离远近不同你可以获得的带宽也不同，离局端设备500ft.你至少可以获得6mbps约700KB/s 如果大于6000ft.或许就会降到2~3Mbps如果到12000ft还是会比56k的猫快的。 -chrisxu(chris); 2001-3-7 (#31148@0)

          • Sad!!, just fired Sympatico before switched to @home. Service from Sympatico is soooo bad -wjiang(wjiang); 2001-3-7 (#31103@0)
            • @home is backed by Excite. Just last month, Excite was talking to another backbone service (I forgot the name) in a bet to reduce the outages (the very fact that Sympatico got the market share from @home). So let's keep our fingers crossed. -sw989(Londoner); 2001-3-7 (#31112@0)

                • did you mean they made the switch already? I noticed that I didn't experience any weekend outages for the past two months, thank God! -sw989(Londoner); 2001-3-8 (#31359@0)
