<< Yep, OOL seems to cap uploads at 128K per second, although in very short bursts some speed testers will report higher numbers due to testing inaccuracies. But the download speeds really really rock. Most of the time 400-500K per second seems to be the average around here in Connecticut with really slow periods like early evening topping out at 300K per second. On the off-peak periods like overnight 600-650K per second is pretty common. Being able to grab 40 megs a minute tends to greatly reduce the time needed for big downloads. Plus OOL is reliable and cheap, a nice combination. I've been with them for almost 18 months now and have nothing but praise. We might get killed on taxes and gas prices here in Southern Connecticut, but for broadband we have it SWEET! >>
You Eastcoast people are funny. THose speeds are laughable! I have AT&T cable broadband and get 1.5-1.7 Mbps and capped 128Kbps up, which sucks. Ok, sometimes is drops to about 600 Kbps (Mondays). But I pay $35/month. >>
The only thing laughable is your complete lack of math skills. 1.7Mbps comes out to around 200K per second (somebody with a calculator can come up with an exact number, I'm just guesstimating) which is nice, but FAR FAR from the huge number you think it is. We funny eastcoast people are getting 600K per second. So you're getting about a third of our performance and paying more money for it. Are you still laughing now?
