Nah that’s home DSL. We’ve got a couple DS3’s at work, no need for shitty DSL. 😉

FBI…riiiiiight. But him having verizon dsl at that speed would be the biz package that they offer to home users…it has more emails, a domain name i believe and of course higher speed…a few more things but i don’t care to remember. But as far as connections go…OC45\>everything on this site

Having used to work for verizon and having to memorize all of these packages was a pain. the biz package is regular home dsl…just with a bump in speed…depending on how close you live to the switch(i can shoot paintballs at mine) “home” dsl is capable of a lot

> Yup. I’m guessing you probably got the deal for 14.99 a month? The highest they offer for DSL currently is 3 Mbps/768 Kbps downloads more than triple the speed of what you have now and uploads as fast as you currently download. FIOS isn’t available in your area?

fios is but I dont know if i wanna go for that or not…

Seriously though, that’s the least that they can do based upon their ridiculous tuition rates.

😃 the super computer center

I’m going to test my “personal” VZW DSL. I bet it’ll suck hardcore compared to what I had just a bit ago on campus :(.

OUCH!

You know… so this test should basically show how quickly my internet is running - i.e. whatever VZ says my DSL is rated at, correct? I’m pretty sure I have the 3Mbps plan… and I am paying extra for it. I’m a little pissed that I keep getting 1200-1300. I think I may call and find out wtf is going on.
