Re: Acceptable DSL Speeds (ms based)

[Luke Parrish]

My email was confusing since I said the word speed, I would like to ms roundtrip for the following:

1. CPE to first layer 3 hop
2. CPE to first layer 3 upstream hop
3. CPE to layer 3 exit point of upstream

Example:

Trace route to www.yahoo.com

1. 10.10.10.1 (CPE) 1ms
2. 10.10.10.254 (DSLAM)(cte) 21ms(first layer 3 hop)
3. 11.1.1.1 (Router)(cte) 24ms
4. 5.5.1.3 (upstream interface)(level3) 68ms(first layer 3 upstream hop)
5. 5.4.3.2 (exit point of upstream)(handoff from level3 to at&t) 94ms (layer 3 exit point of upstream)

Those ms values are what I am curious about. What are other providers seeing and what are, in your opinion, acceptable ms times for a home 1.5M dsl user...

Does anyone have a good resource for acceptable speeds for home DSL customers?

I would like to see acceptable speeds from the customer CPE to the first layer 3 hop, the hop to the upstream  and the hop that leaves the upstream network.

Thanks
