Re: Internet issues / choices in Switzerland / ADSL vs cable

What kind of real world upload and download speeds are you getting from cablecom?
Anyone willing to take this test and give me their results? From my Sunrise ADSL connection I am getting-

Download speed- 1.8 Mbps
Upload speed- 501 Kbps

I just want to see what my options are when my Sunrise contract runs out. I want more bandwidth :-)
for an advertised 5000/500 service on speed tests locally (http://perftest.cablecom.ch) I get 4500/520 speeds and with wider latency I get lower download speeds but consistently hit 500+kbps upload speed.

I think it's been mentioned elsewhere but I've nuked one cable modem (replaced FOC), one power supply (replaced FOC) and the service has dropped no more than 4 times per year maximum.

And because I have Digital Phone, I have an 800 number to call when all goes wrong.
