I just tested my DSL on dslreports.com. It says I'm getting 1.254 mbits down and 132k up. That's *higher* than it is supposed to be (768/128). Actual throughput, less TCP overhead, was measured at over 1 mbit.
Conxion has awesome latency, connectivity and uptime, but I'm still surprised that this gizmo is measuring it as higher than it's supposed to be. On the other hand, now that I look at some of their other figures, this isn't entirely uncommon... but it's certainly much more common to see less than advertised. But before you pick up that phone... Conxion doesn't sell DSL service by itself. I have a business relationship with the company.
