[clue-tech] Switching to Qwest DSL soon, any suggestions?

[F.L. Whiteley]

According to Comcast's web site, fastest upload speed is up to 768k.  If
running a server, you may do a bit better with DSL and the right
provider, though ATM overhead will eat into some of that.  My 1.5mbps
DSL's are currently trained on the upload side at 1024kbps and 992kbps.
However, some faster inbound DSL products train to lower outbound
speeds, like 640kbps.  Qwest currently advertises up to 896kbps upload
with their 7mbps offering.

YMMV,

Frank Whiteley
