Ok you win. |
Yep - That is pretty slowww!!!
I have 3 mbps down, and I have the option to move to cable for 8 mbps (12 burst), but the DSL is just so much faster as far as latency is concerned, and it is not a shared pipe. My ping times in online games are consistantly much better than my cable friends. So that is my trade off - get cable if you download massive files all day long, or get better ping times on DSL. Considering my 360 kbps (3 Mbit connection) is not too bad for downloading most things, and I have a 768k up pipe, so I'm not complaining much. And I'd rather have better ping times than download speed, so I am sticking with DSL till my 30 MBit FIOS (Fiber Optic) arrives next year.
I do find it rather odd that I can walk to Microsoft headquarters from my house, yet we are far down the list to have FIOS arrive??!!!
