Both jump and texas.net offer exactly the same DSL speeds. They may
have different gurantees and different advertising, but you are
getting EXACTLY the same DSL technology with exactly the same
potential speeds. ADSL is ADSL. The only difference comes when you
hit the ISP. But, jump and texas.net both offer high quality
connections so you can be assured of seeing hi transfer rates and low
latency with both.
This is a typical download with "384k" ADSL from jump on a shared ADSL
connection. (3 users, 6 machines) The numbers should be pretty much the
same as what you would see from texas.net:
ftp> get tcl8.1.1.tar.gz
local: tcl8.1.1.tar.gz remote: tcl8.1.1.tar.gz
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for tcl8.1.1.tar.gz (2354990 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
2354990 bytes received in 14.4 secs (1.6e+02 Kbytes/sec)
By my calculations, thats 1.25mbits/s data rate. Factoring in
protocol overhead I suspect I am seeing about 1.35-1.4mbits/sec. I
don't know what the maximum capacity of my line is, but I am very
close to the CO, so I should be capable of getting pretty close to the
max.
