My download speeds are the same, but my upload went from 608kbps to 768kbps. I still can't get the full 6016kbps download (too far away from the RT) so I'm getting 4000kbps download speeds.

The great thing is, instead of paying $45/month, I got re-rated from AT&T for $30/month (first 12 months) then $40/month thereafter. So even after my contract expires my DSL is still $5 cheaper per month.

Yeah. I've been off contract for about a year, so it was easy to renew. I even got a new 2Wire modem/router that has Wireless-G for $30 after rebate to replace my 3-year-old and aging Wireless-B model.

I hate you.

Viper007Bond · May 6th, 2006, 01:05 AM

I really should look into upgrading my DSL package. Then again, I'm like 16000 feet from my hub, so...

It used to be SBC. AFAIK, SBC never gave in to the RIAA or MPAA.

Another speed boost! I got a new 2Wire 2700HG, so maybe my old modem was a POS?

I don't think that's what he was talking about. images/smilies/wink.gif

Wiretaps? AT&T just recently acquired SBC (Southwestern Bell) earlier this year, so I'm not worried about anything.

Cruzz563 · May 9th, 2006, 06:18 PM

But NOW they are one company images/smilies/smile.gif

Since this is going thru your connection...Hi Mr. Bush \o

Actually it was the other way around, SBC bought AT&T, and the combined company took AT&T's name. With the merger it's likely most backbones (if not already using ATT lines) will be moved to AT&T owned lines to save operating costs. And the way the federal government is setting the stage, they are going to do whatever they can / want in keeping those spying rooms active on AT&Ts networks.

If anyone has a cable connection, get yourself a Motorola SB5120 modem; it increases speed by 1-2 megs.
