Before I moved, I was approximately 5 blocks from the CO. Not really sure where I am in relation to the CO now, but transfer speed (which I'm happy with) has been the max they provide over this link. >Since the first link to the DSL is not your system but the box >above it, I really suspect that is the problem. The pings that I provided were to the first hop, ie my gateway at the other end of the connection. It could be latency in my provider's network, I suppose, but seems unlikely it'd affect me in two locations and not my friend in a third (also downtown). But certainly possible. > BTW I am NOT using PPPoE but PPoA. So.. not actually doing packet encapsulation and authentication with FreeBSD PPP then? If so, then we're not comparing apples to apples.
