When I first got my DSL from pacbell for about 3 weeks I was able to send well over 50k/s but then after that 3 weeks i hardly can send over 15k/s and its been like that for a year? My house is about 40 years old and i live about a 2 minute walk down the hill to the pacbell building. there anyway i can check if its lines between me and them or what? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Johnson" <david@usermode.org> To: "Ted Mittelstaedt" <tedm@toybox.placo.com>; <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2001 10:53 PM Subject: Re: Network throughput > On Saturday 28 July 2001 10:18 pm, Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: > > > Anyway, what I hope that you draw from all this is that DSL is not a > > rock-solid circuit delivery mechanism and that the last 30 feet of wire > > inside the house can kill the circuit as surely as a bridge tap or load > > coil in the Telco section of the circuit. > > Thanks for the laughs! > > From my location and proximity to the telco, I should be getting double the > DSL speeds I currently receive.
