Hi all-new member here (previous lurker) and this is my first post. If I am off topic please be patient while I learn! I have a question about AT&T's DSL. I do have this service and it is great. AT&T called me several weeks ago and talked me into going to DSL 3.0-I had previously fast access dsl. It is just $5 more a month but I am not seeing a huge change in the speed. I thought it would be faster than it is yet when I check my speed it shows at 2.9. they also explained I would get a static ip address at no extra cost but the ip they emailed me and the ip address on my computer are different. What's up with that. Is there just not a huge speed difference in fast access dsl and 3.0? I'm tempted to call them and go back to fast access and save that $60.00 per year! What do ya'll think? Thanks gem
If you're hitting at 2.9, then you have doubled your speed. Where are you not seeing speed differences? Web pages will only load as fast as the server they are on will allow. If you download a large file, you should be seeing it come in at around 300k/sec, which would be a significant amount over what you would have gotten from the 1.5 connection. Also, streaming videos should be coming in a lot better now.
