i was just looking around and i saw that optimum online is offering 30Mbps download and 2Mbps upload for relatvely cheap. I think the most it would be is about $65 a month minus taxes if you do not have there other services. i was jsut wondering if anybody has optimum online and gets these actual speeds.

i am getting the 30 mb plan as soon as they come and its tuesday if i'm not working but my speeds on the 2 mb upload and 15 download are in my sig below. there is times where it is a bit less but its the best for the buck and pay the $35 for the pro install so if it doesnt go right you wont get charged. also when you get it make sure they test it and your getting close to your speeds before they leave and they can give you the newest modem and if they have to run a new line for the modem only

blunted 2 that is good to know that it would be possible to get the 2Mbps upload because that is what i am most concerned about. hopefully optimum online will become available in my area soon.

o really then i will have to check into it more. but with most things they are not available in my part of connecticut. maybe i searched wrong or something but my zip code is 06351 maybe someone can determine if it is possible for me to get it. if i need to give more information about where i live just let me know

no luck, i guess im staying with the isp i have now. i live out in the woods and have been waiting for dsl to come to my neighborhood for about 2 years now with no luck. is it true that the farther from the central office you are the slower your speeds would be?

yes but it also depends on the quality of the wire to the central office and the equipment they use.
