I'm in a rural area, town of about 10,000. We have a lot of out-of-town customers, as well as in-town customers with poor phone lines. I would guess that an average of 38K for me would be a good day. I get a LOT of 26400's and 24000's. With my equipment, I would say it's almost always phone line related. I have two phone lines in my office I use to test modems, phone line A and line B. Line A always gets about 45K, Line B always gets 49-50K. This holds true regardless of what computer/modem combination I put on them. If a customer gets only 24K, I can usually plug them into one of my lines and get the same results. I generally don't worry too much about my equipment unless on one of those lines I get a poor connection speed. - Joel -----Original Message----- From: Jim Sheldon [mailto:jsheldon@texascom.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 10:24 AM To: usr-tc@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] Average Connect Speed I just want to compare some data. I average the connect speed for all my calls across both my TC chassis each month. I then compare that to the average connect speed of each channel on my DSP's as a check for a problem DSP channel or T1 channel. I have been tracking it for a while now and the rough average is 38k. I would like to see what others might be averaging. I understand that the ratio of urban to rural users, etc. may skew the numbers. We are using 3.5.105 for our DSP code with v.92 enabled.
