Well, this has been quite a ride

I'm not sure where to begin this, it's been like a fairy tale as far as Frontier stories go. Some of you may remember this from a little over 2 years ago, http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r28415958-DSL-Newbie-here-and-have-a-few-questions Well, fast forward about a year and half, I decided to get the 24Mbps in August 2016. Setup went super smooth and quick, got a Actiontec F2250 and was able to run 24Mbps with a single pair. [att=1] Fast forward to today and the 1Mbps upload was seriously starting to hurt, at times if there was 2-3 people loading videos the upstream would saturate and everything would slow to a crawl, and even with no one else on, 1Mbps up just wasn't cutting it. I called to see if I could somehow upgrade the upstream speed to something a little more reasonable and got a shock. Seems I'm one of the few that can get the Vantage internet in this area. They were offering the Vantage Simply Power plan (45Mbps/6Mbps) for $2 more a month than what I was paying for the 24Mbps. Sign me up! It just got installed today, and wow, I got provisioned for 60Mbps down even though the plan is 45Mbps. I'm certainly not complaining. [att=2] Only one issue so far, and that is line 2 is having an insane amount of errors. I'm going to checking to see if it's my line running from the box into the house. Hoping that's the issue, but there's a good chance it isn't. [att=3] A big step up from where I begin, and I can say without a doubt I now know wayyy more about DSL and how it works than when I started.
