^Yeah wtf indeed. My Netflix is shitty too-it pauses every 5-10 minutes to buffer.
My speedtest btw:

Are you getting dropped video frames? Audio track is great for me, but video is like 1 fps or less. Then after 5 minutes, it catches up again, only to slow down to a chop again. 7/18/2010 10:04:37 PM |

Does anyone in Raleigh have AT&T DSL and does it suck?
And if so, how bad? 7/18/2010 10:38:31 PM |
disco_stu All American 7436 Posts user info edit post |
I have Uverse which is technically DSL. It's the opposite of suck. 7/19/2010 9:23:29 AM |

when my internet went out last thursday b/c apparently my modem still said sprint on it, and sprint -> embarq -> centurylink, i went to the store and got a new modem. i was paying $29 for 3mbps and saw on their current rate thingy that it's now $29 for 10mbps...so today they're supposed to flip the switch and give me 10. yay! up speeds ran about .5 before, we'll see what they are tonight.
i'm in rocky mount so this is going to be unbelievably fast. 7/19/2010 9:45:38 AM |

This is at work! We have the crappiest network you can imagine... especially considering it's a business. The test alone took a couple of minutes.
The network all but dies every day in the late afternoon. I'm tempted to install a dail-up modem and probably would if NCSU still provided that ISP service.
I just ran it again:

nobody can touch my home speed (download at least) with comcast i should have 5Mbps up, i need to call about that.
all you poor road runner people that have to post your 'work' internet to feel better i'm j/k.
5ms ping ftw!
heck my 3G with verizon gets better upload speeds than RR (and helluvalot better latency than AT&T):

oic, Raleigh doesn't have a server? still 50 miles or whatever it is doesn't equate to 15Mbps increase

^I meant for home speed. I doubt many people have access to 100/100 for home without getting a business line. Although Greenlight's 100/100 is $$$, but the 40/40 isn't too bad ($100). 9/4/2010 11:38:08 AM |

Man that's shitty. Don't know how you deal with it. Usually get around 5/1.5 on my phone with AT&T. Time Warner Cable does suck though. Only ISP that's in my area in Charlotte right now. Can't wait for Uverse or something better. 9/10/2010 9:19:05 AM |

You mean 30 to 50 down? I'm in Charlotte and I haven't seen that. Grr. I would gladly upgrade.

Hey Prospero that's 50/5. Beats your 30/5.

I had to drop back down to 10Mb because Suddenlink wouldn't offer any promos for 15.
10/1 $45 15/1.5 $65 20/2 $85 50/3 $120
I haven't convinced myself to make the Docsis 3 investment yet. :/ 8/12/2011 12:31:19 PM |

Usually I would get 10 for 29.99/mo or 15 for 44.99/mo with no contract, but for whatever reason I got shut down last night. I'm trying another rep online now.8/12/2011 12:45:16 PM |
