Your AT&T cable speeds

[scooter4n]

What is your upload speed if your using AT&T cable?? I run FTP server, and people can download from me 20-25KB (200-250Kb/s) on average. According to this >> http://help.broadband.att.com/faq.jsp?content_id=1746&category_id=7 we have 128 upload now, and it's going to be 256Kb/s. So, if I'm going to be updated Am I going to get 500???
Any ideas on this ??
Thanks.

Looks as if you already have the 256Kb to me...it is after May afterall.

I had 256 for long time

Still though, 256Kb is 256Kb...it's not going to give you 512 if they upgrade. Could be your area already had it.

I know when I had @Home they advertised a cap of 3Mbps and I was capable of more than triple that in the area I had it. Could be your CO doesn't have the same cap as other places or it was already upgraded when installed with the future intentions in mind.
