I feel so special! Learned today that the pop in Galax was wired for Docsis 3 all along, so instead of a 16x2 we now have a 50x10 High speed for this area.....

There's also a Fiber Co-Op in the pop but they want $40 per 1Mbps..

Anywho, we'll begin testing to see which AP's on the network can handle 5Mbps and 10Mbps, we're the first guinea pigs but the stupid Groove 2Hn is locked, I can't get in and the network admin can't get in.

Configured another one, guess I'll be switching them out tomorrow. I've heard something along the lines that the Groove's, something in the RouterBoard settings locks access once it associates with the AP....

 

Well, that sucks.

Hopefully the trans is fine.



And Stewie, we've always known that you're special. No need to further remind us.

 

40 bucks per meg? Seriously? Do they gold plate each individual packet that comes thru the network? That's farking outrageous.

 

 

Very outrageous. The 50/10 Business Cable connection costs us $199.99 a month. Those speeds on Fiber would be over $2k a month, in a small area like this that's just not feasible for a small ISP.

Actually TWR's Broadband Planner has said that $40 per 1mbps is a good price... WTF!


Agree.

 

I must wonder how that's done. Must be time consuming.

 

Tweezers, microscope, and airbrush. Yep, time-consuming doesn't even begin to cover it.

 

on the phone with us cellular right now... My phone refuses to turn on, and they are "currently experiencing high call volumes"... Makes me wonder what sorta hack occured...

 

talk about ridiculous costs...

the company I work for has 2 racks full of servers drawing tons of power, making tons of heat, etc...

We pay $1200/month to have them in a datacenter that provides us with the rack space, a nice secure building to have them sitting in, filtered uninterrupted power to run them off of with generator backups for the buildings massive battery backup system. We also have 100/100Mbps LAN connection to the internet. The building has a 33Gbps fiber connection to an internet backbone location directly + satellite backup if the fiber were to ever go down... building also has its own power substation from Seattle city light (local utility company for Seattle). They also provide the cooling for the servers in the form of huge heat exchangers keeping the datacenter floors cooled. Those heat exchangers are also on the redundant power. (the entire building is)


all of that redundancy cooling, interweb speed, etc... $1200/month not bad at all...

Price that company providing fiber in your area is charging: so ridiculous they are not going to stay in business long...

 

win/fail? fail turn to win? lol I'm on the fence now about this!

don't get me wrong...I still think the wheels are a fail, but wow it actually has a use other than looking retarded!
