It's just slow all the time. The most I ever got was405. My neighbor two houses down gets up to 1.5 with the same provider. I've spent lots of time with techsupport, but since it meets their 385, they are not willing to do anything. I could go to the next higher service for $40/month and they guarantee 1.5 to 3.0. With my luck I would probably get 1.5. Is that worth another $10-I don't know. I have filters on all the phonesand I have a Cat-5cable coming all the way to the computer.

He had them put the filters on all of the phones, and their problems seemed to have disappeared. Have you installed those filters they gave you on ALL the phone connections (and fax connections) in the house? I have SBC, and right now I am getting 1536 K in and 384 out. Do you notice it any worse after it rains? Sometimes they have leaks in the insulation around the phone lines, and you get crosstalk on the wires until it dries out. The crosstalk confuses the DSLdata, and it has to retransmit the data which meansit takes longer (seemsslower). If there is water in the line, they can and should fix that upfor you.

I don't like Charter because they do not provideany hookup numbers while traveling. What other broadband services are available to me that would also have free hookupwhile traveling.
