If I don’t respond to messages today, it’s because I’m flying back home. I won’t get home until late.

Customers who think this service will give them the full rate need to understand that their connection to a remote server goes through quite a few intermediate connections and links.

The datarate to any particular website will be limited to the speed of the slowest link in the chain of connections.

There is a utility called Traceroute that discovers and reports the IP address and delay time for each hop for a connection. Windows has a similar utility that the user can run. I am sure that a google search can yield instructions for Windoze users.

20 MB is nice but DSL has some limitations. For one the quality of service features with DSL aren’t great. 20 MB ATM provides a much better throughput for intense applications. JMHO

Download speeds on DSL, or Digital Subscriber Lines, from other companies generally top out at 10 or 12 megabits per second.

What sort of download speeds are available on Cable internet systems (e.g. Comcast, Cox, etc.)??
