If you have not checked out their new U-verse service, do yourself a favor and do it. I had it installed this week and my download speed went from 2.80 mbps to 5.80 mbps and upload went from .32 mbps to .90 mbps. The modem comes with a built in wireless router and a battery back up power supply comes with it. My monthly service charge was cut in half and there is no installation charge.
And no. I do not work for AT&T. :)
jester - I did not get the digital TV service. I'm keeping that separate with my DirectTV satellite account. That way if I lose my internet I still have a back up.
sc,
Just checked my Comcast connection on speakeasy.net to Atlanta. 17.5 up and 5.32 down.
Verizon is dtill the best hands down. 5.8mbps is nothing bro
Clubber - Comcast is only offering up to 3.0 mbps in my neighborhood. See below.

Btw using speakeasy I get the same results that I get from the AT&T test.

sc,
Your result is about what I had with at&t. Something I consider an interesting not of history. When DSL first started to enter the market down this way, I had it before anyone else I knew via at&t. his was in the early 90's. Now, I live out near the East Glades about 35 miles SW of Miami, so not a major area to have DSL when Miami doesn't. What had happened was hurricane andrew. The entire phone and electrical network was rebuilt where I am, therefore, everything was new and capable of handling DSL speed. What an improvement over a modem (may they rest in pieces)! BTW, my first modem was 300 baud.
My cable modem works just as well.
They've sent two people out to try and convince me to switch from Time Warner. Free HBO for 6 months, then only $2 cheaper per month. I'm tempted but heard a few bad stories.
