    Thinking of switching to Uverse but I understand they use interleaved profiles which adds latency due to VDSL.


    Anyone with Uverse mind going into command prompt and posting your ping results to a common site like Google or pinging 4.2.2.2?

    When I was with comcast I avg about 4 mb upload speeds. I'm now with Uverse and I'm lucky to crack 1.5

    I had to switch to Uverse 2 months ago because my apartment is dropping Time Warner (in Austin).

    My speedtest a week ago, when I was trying to stream my Slingbox Rockets game, was 0.13 Mb/s download / 0.70 Mb/s upload (http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3473159781). It was tested when my stream was off. I had to reset the Gateway to get it working again. I'm currently paying for 18 Mb/s download, and 1.5 Mb/s upload, but I'm lucky to break 12 Mb/s download and consistently testing around 6-8 Mb/s with consistent dropouts every couple of days.

    Let's just say I hate Uverse internet.

    Thanks for all the replies but I'm not interested in speed test results unless it includes your average ping time to the server you tested to.

    Damn, that's terrible. Mine is 14ms to google on a 50mb Comcast connection. Thanks for your results!
