Fellow IWs, I ask of thee to post your real (Felt) DSL speeds.

My phone/DSL provider (of all people) called with a concern that we were not getting a full product for the price. We have unlimited DSL 750k service. The tech did a couple quick checks, pinged all three machines, the modem and the router. Thought there might be an issue as they (yes we know) had recently bundled all of their new lines in our area and wanted to further test. Yes, ok. So two days later, here rolls up a marked Alltel truck and the lineman commences to do his thing. A tech calls and away we go doing a line test. The results leave me both furios and concerned.

Furious as the linesman was getting 735K at the line/box (on outside of garage wall), and we are pulling 335K in the house.

Concerned, as this is not the first issue with this house????

They will not touch from the box to the walls without an entrage of limitations. While doing reserach and checking with others, it appears there is one commanality, The Builder. Everybody who has our builder has had some type of issue with wiring, A/C / Heater, phone/DSl, and flooring. (Hearsay) The phone wiring was perforemd by a high school kid (no biggy) who skipped school (biggy) to run the wiring in three houses that day. The builder will not acknowledge nor deny this information. However, we are pressuring him to either fix it, or let Alltel techs fix it (at his cost).

Anyhow, if you guys would/could/dont' mind, post your high speed numbers from your favorite internet speed tester.
