Location: Austin, TX Carrier: AT&T Technology: VHDSL Theoretical Speed: 70mbps down, 10mbps up Practical speeds: 25-40mbps down most of the time, sometimes as much as 7mpbs up Cost: not sure. I haven't looked at a bill recently, but I think it's like $100 Other: Note that there is just one gigabit-class carrier in this neighborhood -- Spectrum. We used them years ago, but found they were too unreliable, so switched to AT&T. It's a lot slower, but more reliable than Spectrum. AT&T has tried to sell me GigaPower on several occasions, but then they tuck their tail between their legs and run, once I point out to them on their own site that they can't actually deliver GigaPower in this neighborhood. Go two miles in any direction from this neighborhood, and GigaPower is actually available, as is another gigabit-class carrier, like Grande. Funny that.
