Ya I have a company that does work for these clowns " telco/cable" It all depends on your location, and how close you are to a newer area of town, And if they have upgraded your section or not.. Or how close you are to there servers...
With the ADSL work we see all sorts of speed issues with people to far out from a main CO or Remote... They can get up to 3Meg down and 3Meg up with one package but thats UP TO.. so you could get .5Meg down and .1Meg up and there is nothign you can do about it because it's UPTO that speed kinda stupid.. but if you are in a newer section of town or if they have recently upgraded your area you will be able to get some good speeds for a decent dollar.. as well most areas are getting Fiber to the home its called.. and you can get a fiber optic connection to the side of your house.. than again that all depends where in Tex ya live... Like now the new house im in.. Im up on the side of a mountain over a lake and we'll were in the sticks so the ADSL is expensive and slow.... :-(...
