This is indeed correct. While I understand the predicament of being far from the switch reduces speeds, it’s a bit absurd when you’re paying for 12, but can only get 3. (This is not an exaggeration.)
- jcrawfordor 5y agoAt least in my area, most DSL providers derate their offerings based on distance from the DSLAM, so they're transparent about this... e.g. punch addresses in a small town into the CenturyLink website and you will see the offering decay from 15mbps to 3mbps as you get further from the phone exchange. I'm surprised that Frontier wasn't doing the same, or perhaps they were but being far too optimistic in their estimate.
- edgyquant 5y agoYou’re are lucky to even get 3 if you pay for 12. In my (small) hometown most people have frontier so I definitely gathered a little more an anecdotal evidence when working on people’s networks/PCs and it was usually in the kilobytes 1-3 mbps on a good day (usually the lower end.)
