Is another place...

I listed at

136570

I don't know how I get these speeds though, since my connection isn't actually all that terribly fast at my location!

Strange...

The 111 upload was more what my speeds probably should be...

I envy you guys. Down here in Toronto, Canada, I only have Rogers (Cable) and Bel (DSL)l to choose from.
Rogers consider the speed that I'm getting to be acceptable for "service as is".

There are a lot of people that aren't even getting half of the advertised 3 mbps and the funniest thing is that Rogers is actually coming out with a new package that gives us 5 mbps when they can't even deliver consistent 3 mbps to their customers.

Too bad we're stuck with Rogers here in Toronto since there's no other cable ISPs here.

That what all the Tech's told me. 10-25 years.

Cable TV did try and quit a couple years ago. Step in my area, and you will think you went back 50 years. Miles of Corn with nearly a neighbor in sight.

Digital wires in 15 years. Thats the estimate, I got from a tech friend for sprint. That services our area. I tried IDSN and was slowed down to "dial-up" speeds. Due to our archaic copper wires.

And in my area there is little demand for "Broadband". One tried a years ago and quit. Out of 1000 people called in my area Me and five people stated they wanted Cable Broadband. The rest stated "no".

Wireless though might be something to look into though in a couple of years.

You might luck out in get the utility line form of broadband. It requires no new infrastructure to speak of.

ultility line? What is that?

They can do broadband over power lines. Power lines are ubiquitous. The modem picks up the modulated signal carried into your house with your electricity. Just requires a special modem and of course a service provider to modulate and demodulate the signals and act as a node.

2118 kbps, Not Optimized

Not only that but our govt is promoting this form as an afordable alternative to us poor deprived poverty stricken folks. Pilot programs in Ohio (IIRC). The Europeans are doing this in the UK (again IIRC.)
