Re: [TCLUG:21012] USWest DSL and local providers

["Gabe Turner (officer)" <dopp@acm.cs.umn.edu>]

USWest always offered it at 640k, it just wasn't advertised.  I've had DSL
since Oct. '98 and have had 640k the entire time.  They just advertised it
as 256k and let those close to the CO burst up to 640k.  For the last 2
years I've been consistantly getting 60kb/s downloads.  Though, uploads are
a different matter and have always been capped at 256k.  Anyone notice and
increase in upload speed?
