I mean really extreme. If you live in the Southeastern U.S. and you are a subscriber of Bellsouth’s DSL Internet service, you will soon have the option of a 6mb connection.
Announced yesterday, the FastAccess DSL Xtreme 6.0 service will provide users with 6 MB connections to support demanding next-generation network applications. Business users will be able to benefit from the same kind of big data pipe for shared access and other applications with FastAccess Business DSL 6.0.
I am currently on the 256K DSL Lite at home, but may consider upgrading just to take advantage of the speed increase.
Haha as soon as Telstra get around to it we should get 24Mb connections :D
Awesome it will be.
Hopefully this means cable will upgrading soon ^_^
hey have they found a way to increase dial-up without using another type of connection?
Strange cos most places in the UK have the option of 8Mb connections, and i thought we got things last
Yep, I got my bulldog 8mb connection coming soon :D
If they make this happen before my cable provider I may very well have to move away from Vonage back to Ma Bell. FWIW, at least one of the cable companies has been doing 5 megabit for months now in select markets (see the forums at dslreports.com for more info). Always good to hear about progress,though.
What’s so extreme about 6MBps? I’ve been on 10MBps for years(RCN NY).
In a related news, the town of boondoxx AK went extreme with 14.4k z-modem connection.
DSL 6.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I might move to FLA to get that deal!!
hey cliche where do you get this boomdocks news id like eyto know so i can laugh it up when they get 21kbps
Comcast has 6.6Mbps down/768kbps up…
WOWEEEEE, im on my amazing 300KB NTL extravaganze connection! PH33R MEEEE WORLD!

Ha!
Welcome to the future, but until you have 20mbit it’s not really broadband (hassle them about Adsl 2+).
Our max here in NL is 20Mbit. 6 is becoming standard here :D
I have been trying for quite some time to upgrade my DSL subscription to 6.0 mbps and am told that it is not available at my
address, though 3.0 works very well. Just a bit ago I saw that a limitation is that one must be within 3.5 miles of the Bellsouth office by road, and I am within that distance. I am getting really annoyed that the 6.0 is not made available to me, especially since it is advertised online in this area. its tempting to go with Comcast but I don’t want to have to change my address.
