Is DONet HomeDSL Broadband service faster than cable access?
The broadband speed from DONet CAN be faster than cable. The broadband speed is up to 1.5mbps (downstream) by 128kbps (upstream). The downstream speed depends upon the distance of your phone wiring from the phone company. Speeds up to 6.0mbps (downstream) by 384kbps (upstream) are available outside the HomeDSL broadband promotion. The speed of your connection does not slow down when several people in your neighborhood are downloading large files or are infected with the latest virus. DONet is an active participant in local peering through the Dayton Metropolitan Internet eXchange D-MIX, which is proven to accelerate traffic between DONet customers and other local networks (like Reynolds & Reynolds and the University of Dayton). DONet has also been providing accelerated web browsing through Akamai for over three years, which accelerates popular web sites like Ebay, Yahoo!, Apple, and MSNBC.
