    Cavtel sales folks never really tell you that speeds are dependant on your location in relationship with thier closest DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexor), and that would affect your true bandwith.Back end support was good. Since FIOS is not an option for me and I will never use our local cable provider. Thier (Comcast) poor network topology seems to lend to thier unreliability. Verizon had a 3MB metro ethernet service but I am doing a bit better than 3MB with my Cavtel 8MB per second although. because I am quite far from Cavtel's closest DLAM, my speeds are not consistent but very rarely sag under T-1 speeds (1.5MB) which is still better than what I had.

    So given my situation Cavtel turned out to be a good value for me at $72.00 per month.Sometimes at certain times of the day like early evening I get these bandwith sags.Don't like that much but it passes and there a lot of things that are just out of the control of the ISP and end user. There are a lot of variables going on in between ISP and user that will also affect line QoS,
