I'm all for that. Phone line use for 3rd party DSL still isn't feasible in most areas (see Frontiers colo requirements for a DSLAM). Still does nothing about the oversell ratio or usage increase

You dont live in a DC suburb. Pricing would vary based on infrastructure costs.... Edit: reads as MBps not Mbps. You just proved my point?

Verizon FTTH was suspended for a large period of time, and is only scheduled to hopefully hit 300k customer upgrades this year. That is an incredibly slow pace, and from one of the largest providers in the country. The end result is still the same though. Say Verizon didn't offer service in...

I am with you here as well, although every other item Arative posted I already touched on. Competition is always good. The problem is that customers don't "vote with their wallets" like they think they do. The cost of infrastructure for cable, FTTH, or even DSL are far too high of a barrier...

They probably are as it would save millions in bandwidth and transport costs vs legal fees. And, they probably wont upgrade shit and just run it into the ground and bleed it dry. However, until customers get realistic expectations about throughput (which is probably to blame on the cable...

So your assumption of Comcast throttling Netflix (no real proof), AND a merger might happen (hasn't yet, but I bet it will), AND net neutrality being repealed (hasnt happened yet), on the basis that 2 years from now they MIGHT throttle Netflix but NOT their own streaming service (which they can...

You do know that Verizon is one of the major supporters of the anti net neutrality movement right? Mainly because their 4g sectors are tanked in most areas, and that is even with the insane costs of $8/hour to watch netflix. Your area will be hit with one of the 3 (caps, throttles, or speed...

Buy a surfboard and your own router? I dont think anyone really understands the impact on infrastructure or the costs involved with traffic increasing 20+x in a period of 3 years. I have 2 DS3s and pay $2675/month for them And how is Verizon's FTH projects working out for them....

Move close to interconnect, pay $10,000 for a fiber drop to your house and $3/meg from hurricane. Sorry for your suffering. EDIT: Oh and I forgot the probably $5,000/month in colo costs.

It's going to be caps, speed reductions, or throttling. Take your pick, but there will have to be one.

ISPs used to run a 100:1 oversell ratio. Now I can barely manage 4:1 due to streaming traffic. I would imagine you will actually see speeds go down over the next 5-10 years until infrastructure is completely replaced. EDIT: For the record, I am a supporter of net neutrality. But people...

Why cant I replace my $120/month TV bill, my $50/month phone bill, and $80 internet bill with a $50 cable internet connection? You mean being one of the users that would not even exist if it weren't for oversell ratios and throttling? Or would you prefer to pay $10/meg (at a minimum, for...

I guess I must eat crow. This is impressive.

How quaint

So understanding your shortcomings, admitting your mistakes to probably over a million people, and bringing in additional management within the first 11 hires doesnt count?

If that interview doesn't make you toss $60 towards the kickstarter, nothing will. I dont know if there is enough people who actually want this game to happen, but if you are still on the fence you are just being petty.

This game could literally get you killed. What if you played it a bunch, like over the next 6 months before they shut down the servers. Then, you find yourself in the middle of a bar fight. There you are, punching 1 foot to the left of the person you are trying to beat down. This game has...

It's LotRO on satellite

At least Brad acknowledges that he fucked people over. He didn't want Vanguard to launch in its current state. And, HR issues aside, Vanguard was pretty fun.

Worst MMO ive played other than Mortal Online. After playing, I downgraded it from a "Don't Buy" to a "Triple Sell"

So basically they showed investors Tortage. Karma.

Its not even that I dont LIKE twitchy or action gameplay. When I play an MMO, I have a toddler climbing up on shit, punching buttons on my keyboard, wife yelling at me to weigh in on which color hand towels make the coutertop "pop", etc. I LOOOOVE tab targeting slow ass combat in MMOs. I play...

Seriously though. They started with basically no information other than "Old school mmo!" and have provided a few ideas since then. I'm still happy with my $45 pledge, but if anyone has changed their mind with the release of more information, that is just dumb.

Wouldnt they have to provide "bait" for a bait and switch?

I do mostly small business IT consulting and run a small ISP, but I do residential computer work on the side when I get bored. Dont do direct mail. It is a waste of money. Word of mouth and referrals are going to be your best bet. If you can nail down a few small businesses, they will be...

So, vanguard druid vision

$45 for a game that may exist in 3 years, from a guy who created 2 other games I really liked And 30 days free And alpha and beta I can take that risk.

Says invite only for group Shit Im dumb TS info is posted....

Im too geared up now to play alone. Someone post when you want to do some sweet NE airfield/berezino groupage

I support this motion, since im countersniping NE airfield. Invite me to steam group: Steam Community :: Remit

And where is the stretch goal for a 10 level on rails tutorial?

In for 45. Seems like a decent deal and I would rather throw my money away on Brad than Smed.

Ubiquiti NSM2L

Dloading now, cant wait to see what all they have changed since last beta. See you all in Tortage!

On this note, I always assume people 20-30 are older than me. Almost always they are younger. Also, when you utter the phrase "slept wrong"

Ive always had great luck with the Netgear ProSAFE line for small businesses. Maybe the ProSafe FVS318N? 8 gigabit ports and N wireless, firewall and hardware VPN all in one unit.

Mikrotik, all the features of Cisco for 1/10th of the price. They are amazing. ISPs even use them upwards of 5000 customers. I only learned about them when I started my own ISP, as they are pretty much the standard in the WISP world. Pick out what model you want for what features you need...

I'm sure if you did you would find it engaging and completely enthused with the overall responsiveness and spot on accuracy with no noticeable lag.

Pretty sweet, but why not go with an edge router lite?

If you were a beastie boy, you would be the shillist
