I'm using cable ISP in Canada and have a cap of 20 kb/s for u/l. Last year it was reduced from 45 to 20.
I am considering Bell Canada (Sympatico) DSL. I had a trial once and the u/l cap was 15, but now they have a faster version
The normal hi speed advertised max is 1Mb/s d/l and 120 kb/s u/l (but it had a 15 kb/s cap when I tried it last year)
The ultra hi speed is said to be 3Mb/s d/l and 640 kb/s u/l
I asked a saleman on the phone what the "cap" was and he just said "huh?"
It seems that you can use other DSL ISP's over the telephone lines, many do not talk about speed on their web site, only price. I suppose part of it is the condx o the phone lines. Ultra hi speed is delivered in my area, but over standard copper lines.
My questions:
Any B1 members have experience comparing the performance of these various services? i.e. cable vs DSL; u/l caps, etc.
What is the significance of the max u/l speed if there is a cap?
