I have the 45mb package and I live in Metairie, close to the lake by Transcontinental. So it all depends in the area you are in. UL speeds still suck, but I can live with it.


This is good information to know. How old is your house? It seems that a lot of very old neighborhoods (like mine) are stuck with ADSL2+ because of our location/distance from the VRAD and the cost to upgrade the infrastructure, whereas other areas with newer, stronger copper lines or a much shorter distance from the VRAD can use VDSL2 Pair Bonding. And the more affluent areas even get fiber to the home. Last I checked, those were in the smallest minority, like less than 5%.

35 years old. No fiber to the house. There's a cat5/6? wire coming off the pole. I'll check it when I get home.
