DSL Speeds . . . Good distance?

[Rigelbowen]

Hi everyone,

I recently ordered an upgrade to my DSL service from SBC from standard to expert. I am currently 6000 ft away from the RT. Is this a good distance? What kind of speeds can I expect? Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to rhe Network forum.

Your distance is good, however Quality of Lines is more import, unfortunately there is nothing you can do about outside quality of lines..

The Download Speed that you might expect is your contract ?Speed? / 10.

I.e. if your contract calls for 1.5Mb/sec. b=bit.

Your Download would be 150KB/sec. B=Byte.

That means that 3MB of Brittany Spears would come in 20sec.
