<0> 14.95/month DSL
<1> so they will say " does your internet connection work?"
<0> over 2 million new customers in NYC area alone
<0> do the math
<1> "k, thanks for calling!"
<0> i called them twice
<2> peerce, nothing wrong with having to lube it up. Lego manipulators don't have the same griping strength like the human hand. Unless you're willing to like use plastic cement and make it a permanent build ... and even then its not guarenteed.
<0> first gook girl didn't even know what latency was
<3> Now now.
<0> i did a line test on dslreports, showed 10% packet loss at a router in NY
<0> told her about that
<3> You can simply perform a trace route.
<0> she said what is packet loss?
<3> See where the issue occurs.
<4> Hawkeye; real interesting article on how he did it, actually. http://jpbrown.i8.com/cubesolver.html
<2> peerce, I'm reading that link now actually.
<5> watching that video, it must take that robot quite a long time to solve it.
<4> even inncluded a webcam that did the initial conditions detection, that was the hardest part, color recognition!
<0> then the "tech" told me to make sure i have a filter on the external water meter line
<0> so it doesn't affect my dsl
<0> that is when i lost it with her
<2> I don't deal with tier 1 support personel.
<0> i requested a tech 3
<0> or manager
<0> she wouldn't p*** me along
<6> ruh roh
<0> but she did write a trouble ticket...
<7> <0> then the "tech" told me to make sure i have a filter on the external water meter line
<6> ***kicking time
<7> lol
<1> I used to keep them on the phone till they bumped me.
<1> then Id call back and do it again
<0> which was open for 3 days
<0> then closed
<1> sooner or later id get someone who could get my **** fixed
<0> well i did get my DSL switched from Interleave to Fast path
<0> which did help
<2> Hehehe, I've never had a filter issue on a DSL line ... but I would always use one of those filter devices you install at the network interface.
<2> I would split the DSL line out there, and run a dedicated piece of Cat3 or Cat5 to where ever the DSL device was going to be placed.
<0> Hawkeye a VOL linesman was out here this past spring and put one in the network interface box
<0> Hawkeye that is what i have
<0> direct line from the NIB to my modem
<2> Yeah. Of course I did it myself.
<0> separate from the voice line
<2> Which meant I had to get security torx bits. :-p
<4> and the splitters the linemen use are often much better quality than what you can find at random supply store
<2> z0g, what's that brand name on that DSL filter you probably still have hanging on your wall?
<0> i don't have any filters in the house
<4> Hawkeye; you should be able to put the splitter on your side of the interface
<4> why would you have to open their side?!?
<0> they opened their side and installed one
<2> peerce, the splitter I used was one designed to actually be installed by a telco tech ...
<5> I ddont have it on my wall. I thought i vgave it to you/.
<4> ah.
<0> speedwise I'm ok
<2> I had to have access to the incoming pair.
<0> it is just latency that is killing my gaming
<8> moo hawk
<5> I forget, its been so long.
<2> z0g, no, you never did. I had to go buy one because you never got around to mailing it to me.
<8> are you near fort laud
<5> Siecor? i think?
<2> Gimp-Cow, no. z0g is.
<8> damn
<8> oh well
<2> Yeah, seicor or siecor.
<4> yeah seicor is a major maker of that stuff
<4> oops, its siecor
<8> i don't actually know where in fl i'm gonna be
<4> only, Siecor, LLC is now
<4> Corning Cable Systems.
<8> but it's ~45min from fort laud airport
<8> which way, i dunno
<2> I can never tell with those damned names that look like they might be german.
<6> gimp is going to be getting raped
<3> Telah***e and surrounding suburbs have too many tics :(
<6> hhahahaha
<5> Here. it was one of these filters: http://www.hippodeals.com/siecoutdslsp.html
<2> Gimp-Cow, that could be almost anywhere. :-p
<8> yeah seriously
<0> 65.59.196.18 0% 60 60 0.69 3.91 71.59
<0> 3 so-7-1-0-0.BB-RTR1.NY325.verizon-gni.net
<0> note: this hop has shown icmp loss previously. 7% 56 60 0.69 1.77 26.75
<0> 4 130.81.18.113 0% 60 60 17.32 20.57 107.62
<8> one sec
<8> **** nevermind, blackberry is upstairs
<0> nice line test
<8> joe
<8> i can only hope
<8> i'm bringing rubberised friends tho
<8> oh it's you
<2> z0g is roughly 45 minutes from Lauderdale tho.
<8> dude you're like 10
<2> West Palm Beach.
<5> Eh?
<8> yeah
<3> Yeah I was thinking the same thing Gimp.
<8> i know another chick in there
<8> but i don't think i'll hook up w/her
<2> z0g, Gimp is going to be in FL soon.
<0> so i'm considering switching to cable
<8> that's too much effort
<5> Oh. cool. floriduh.
<2> Tool^, I've been on cable since I moved to Florida 3 years ago.
<3> I'm gonna hit ADSL2+ as soon as it is installed in my local exchange by my ISP (March).
<2> Tool^, cable quality will come down to your cable company tho.
<0> Hawkeye all new fiber
<8> dov fyi, dsl **** means vastly different **** by you
<0> within the last year
<3> it is already available by another ISP, but don't want to lose my IP.
<8> then it does here :P
<8> it's mad faster in EU
<2> Here in Orlando we've got BrightHouse ... and they're one of the most technologically advanced cable companies in the US.
<3> Europe?
<2> Tool^, cool. What's the base speed?
<8> you count as europe
<0> highest i can get is 3mb
<3> ADSL2+ is 24000/1000.
<8> yeah
<8> see it's totally different
<8> we don't even have "adsl2"
<8> it's just like
<2> I average just under 5m down and around 400-450k up
<0> i'll settle for slower speed for low ping
<3> Yeah, it's new though.
<8> 384/384 kbit
<2> For an extra $20/mo I can go to 8 down.
<0> Hawkeye right now i have 3.0/768
<9> haha
<0> and i usually max it
<8> cable is generally 4mbit down, 768 kbit up
<9> i average just under 5m for my job income!
<9> woot.
<0> i'm only 700' from the CO
<9> Five megabits a second on my cable connection yay.
<2> Gimp-Cow, cable rates ... are generally different everywhere.
<3> Soon they will uncap DSL speeds here, once ADSL2/ADSL2+ takes off.
<0> Hawkeye cable is more expensive.
<0> at least here
<2> Tool^, do you have cable TV?
<0> yea
<2> Do they have any digital bundles?
<0> 2.0/384 is $40/month
<0> yea
<3> I wish we could have faster upload speeds though, I would pull some **** out of the datacentre :S
<8> nah hawk it's not even like that
<5> Wow. an LSD international symposium being held on the occasion of Hofmann's 100th birthday. http://www.lsd.info/E_start.html
<8> dsl is literally, entirely different in europe
<8> on purpose
