FYI, I wasn't relying on the published numbers. My line actually pulls a little greater than 8mbps down and always pushes a little over 700kbps up. I test it every so often with dslreports, from a few of their providers. I always test out at about the same numbers. Occasionally i'll drop to 7500kbps, but this doesnt matter much for my QoS setup. My upstream has been rock solid at 700+kbps (with the overhead of testing packets, making it 768+) Why is this so? The fiber to copper repeater box for cablemodem service happens to be in my yard. My feed is a 90 foot run of RG6-QS from that box to my cable modem. Cable tv for the house is off of a seperate run. It'a amazing what a few can's of ice cold cola on a hot summer day will net you... :-) (and it helps to buy a house with the cable modem distribution box in your yard...) It's all moot - my new numbers are quite nice for QoS based VOIP, which ended my choppyness. Note: adjusting to 16ms latency for the high priority queue did help things somewhat. My first posts were done with a 32ms latency, which was very bad. Going to 10ms eliminated the choppyness altogether for now, and it's been a good few days of it. Ah the joys of hearing my relatives voices for penny's per month :-) 1 110 1 1 80 10 128 1 120 1 2 64 64 768 1 140 1 4 0 80 768 1 170 1 7 0 200 512 As for VOIP,. I can recommend a very Linux/Asterisk friendly provider if anyones interested. They're also quite cheap and you can get an 800 number for a -very- low price (think penny's per month, not dollars, tens or hundreds) This will all become moot soon - FIOS is literally being installed in my neighborhood. The lines are painted, and guess where the distribution box will be planted... :-) Haute SubZero wrote: > I'd recommend to not relying on any of the published numbers.
