We've had it with Comcast going down all the time (cable internet, not cable TV), so are in the process of making the switch to ATT DSL Elite ($35/month).
Set it up last night, put filters on all the phone lines...had to buy an alarm filter from Radioshack for $20 for our alarm box phone line.
Tested everything and it works, though we're only getting around 5100kbps download and anywhere between 350 and 650kbps upload. The Elite plan says that d/l is 6000kbps and u/l is 768kbps.
A call to ATT broadband tech reveals that although the Elite plan is advertised as 6000, one usually only gets around 5100 to 5200.
Does this sound right to you guys?
As an aside, when our Comcast cable internet is working, we get easily over 6200kbps d/l and around 900kbps u/l.
