I live in the south San Jose area and I hate my Sprint access. I want to switch to IDSL.
I get 20% packet loss durring peak times and average about 9-10%. Max average pings (100 pings) of 551ms and average of 250ms. I get dowloads of 2.5Mbits/s to about 200Kbits/s (from one min to the next). My uploads are max of 90Kbits/s to about 50Kbits/s. I graph everything in mrtg so I am not guessing on these numbers.
I play games and do unix admin, so this kinda service sucks for me. If you surf the web or download files from Napster then you will like it.
I have never had problems with my service. Always up and very fast transfers, both uploads and downloads. Just got 330Kilobytes/s yesterday on a 600 meg download. Their customer service has inexperienced staff like most places, but I have not had a problem with them. I do all the diagnostics myself traceroutes, pings, etc. before I call and just tell them what it wrong. Works for me.
Side note: My cable modem has a web page (http://192.168.100.1). Got that address by doing some broadcast pings.
