Line speeds

90% of survey responses had MaxDSL modem downstream sync speeds faster than 2M. 58% reported 6M and higher, with 17% of 4M up to 6M and 15% 2M up to 4M.

73% of users had previously been on the 2M fixed speed service but 10% of them reported a drop in modem sync speed. 70% of them reported 6M or higher.

45% of users previously on 1M moved into the 2M up to 4M bracket, with 24% at 4-6M and 19% at 6M or higher. 7.5 % moved up a little into the "1M up to 2M" bracket. 3% saw a speed reduction into the 512k-1M range.

Of the previous 512k users some 40% went to the 6M and over sync speed. 1 user (2%) fell below 512k and the rest were spread over the rest of the speed range with 40% between 1M and 4M. We don't know if the former 512k users were necessarily on long lines, or on 512k through choice.

Overall, 93.4% of respondents saw their modem line speed increase by changing to Max.
