Hi, My home service was switched to the ADSL service about 6 weeks ago. The switch over wasn't as smooth as it could have been - the service was switched before I had the new modem and after installing the modem I had to make a service phone call to get the throughput increased. Since the initial setup, the service has been quite reliable. I don't think I've noticed a single downtime and connections via ssh to machines on campus will stay open for days. The routing for the ADSL is fairly circuitous - so latency to campus is about 50ms. The bandwidth is around 300KB down (haven't clocked the up rate). My apartment is about 10,500 feet from the head-end. Anyways, I'm pretty satisfied with the ADSL. Cheers, Tom Rockwell Stehouwer, Matt wrote: > I have been with ACD for 3 years.
