Distance from CO?

[chiwawa626]

Distance from CO? Whats a good range to be in? eh found where to look it up, Dslreports.com

Within 12,000 is considered pretty good.

 

[chiwawa626]

hmm wait, any other sites to check distance, dslreports didnt give any results...

 

[j0lly]

I don't know of sites to check your distance. But I can tell you that people with distances upto 19K have stable and fast connections.

I was wundering because rite now we got the pacbell Enhanced Dsl (business one) 384k-1.5mb/128k we are soon goin up to the 1.5mb-6mb/384k
just wanna check out sum stuff before we upgrade...also anyone know any isps that provide good fast connections around $200 that will hold several users? I saw Sprint ION, thats exactly what we need but they are not in our area

I still say Speakeasy I pay $160/month for my 768kbit SDSL. They'll tell you the distance to the CO and such if you go to www.speakeasy.net (and are in one of the areas Covad covers).

 

[chiwawa626]

Hmm, im still wondering is 786k fast enough? or should i just go with 1.5 - 6 megabits?

Well, you don't need to go with SDSL, but 768 should be enough for what you'll be doing with it (there's also 1.1 and 1.5 available if that's needed, but 1.1=$200 and 1.5 is higher, and that assumes you're close to the CO). Their NetExpert Basic (1.5/384) Residential package is $79.95/month, for example. -Shrug-

You already have DSL service, though, so you may as well stick with that.

The closer the better. Next door works for me.
