I did not see anywhere near this dramatic of a drop off in performance when I
had DSL. Typically I saw a drop from the average 90-110KB rates to about
75-50KB. On cable I'm getting a drop from 100-150KB to 10KB-500kb. That is
not a typo. I don't believe that every day the internet gets so congested
that every site I try to connect to can only broadcast at less then 28.8
dialup rates.
My brother and dad do not have these problems with @home in the same city.
They simply live in areas that have very light cable usage and have brand new
lines. My dad gets somewhere between 1.5 and 3 Meg's transfer rate all the
time. Even in the afternoons. @home simply will not do anything about this
because my connection is "fast enough" as one of their tech support people
told me.
