    Yeah I guess that's another factor, we don't know if Tarrant's old 20mbps was solid and consistent. Providers around here advertise 10mbps but it is actually 3mbps sustained, with a 20second bucket burst to 10mbps. Fucking bullshit that providers can advertise like that, no matter what the...

    I just find it interesting EDIT: and yes, 20Mbps will chug if you have utorrent uploading the shit out of your connection in the background

    Why not 20? Do you know how much shit you can have going on 20Mbps? 6+ simultaneous HD streams 2MBps downloads About 100 sessions of World of Warcraft open EDIT: I think that the average consumer doesn't understand what is even possible on a given internet connection, and that is what...

    So would you trade services, and pay the same monthly amount, for 20Mbps w/o a cap?

    I personally stream all of my TV as well. My wife and I watch a good 3-4 hours a night. Online games use basically nothing (<200Kbps), other than updates Does your wife stay at home? For those movies that you stream, what service do you use? If you are doing like 3D movies or something...

    It is nice to be able to ask heavy users these things, so as established I am against caps. That said, what is it that you do that consumes 300gb in a week? Is it large files or just streaming lots? On Netflix's MEDIUM quality setting, you could have streamed about 400 hours of TV for...

    What is the price for the 300gb? Unless it's like $20-30 that is really shitty.

    Got an interview tomorrow at a casino for IT Manager. I already have a really good job as IT Director for a local hospital, but the call schedule is fucking stupid, and the benefits aren't great. I haven't prepped at all, so hopefully it wont be a complete disaster. EDIT: I should note...

    I think the forum getting shut down was similar to when teachers used to say "one more time and this is going in your PERMANENT RECORD!". Its not really a thing, but they do it in hopes of scaring you into not being a little asshole.

    It would likely result in a poorer connection over all as all of your traffic would be likely flagged below games, voip, probably streaming etc. And then you would be left with whatever the tunnels performance. QoS does not decrease throughput on any traffic. It simply reorders traffic for...

    "-Still stealing from your customers as well" - some idiot Here is a good example of a customer not understanding what the fuck they are talking about. QoS is prioritization, and has nothing to do with what Comcast was doing in 2007 (shaping, aka rate limiting, certain types of traffic to...

    All bit meters must pass the 7 stages of worthiness as foreshadowed by the regional high priestess and thus be certified as lacking to all maleficent or equitable misgivings.

    Yes that happened in 2007. I thought you were speaking of something that hasn't already been addressed by the FCC. God damnit now it sounds like I am championing Comcast again. My whole original point is that MOST claims of bogus usage are going to be either A)User ignorance as to how many...

    You are still able to implement QoS and connlimits as a provider to manage network performance. You just can't target specific traffic. It was probably just a bad route or interface somewhere though. I had a customer freaking out because they couldn't get to some shit website, but they...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Cat5e will be more flexible than Cat6 for network cabling(as far as cheap UTP goes), and if you go grab some coax premades from a box store they will likely be pretty flexible.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Yeah all the big names use the good shit from my experience. The cooperation dictates what the local installers are allowed to use, and it is always high end cabling, as medium costs significantly less than truck rolls. Even most smaller ISPs learn that the hard way after 5-10 years, but I...

    I'd wager it is more because it costs money to move data (infrastructure or oversell). So, the more data you move the more it costs Comcast. The more data the average customer consumes, the more they have to decrease their oversell ratio to account for the increased load, or invest in...

    No, every customer should learn at least the minimal basics of their internet connection (latency, throughput, jitter, packetloss), but that just isnt going to happen in this day and age. A lot of consumer routers even have total usage tracking built in, but most people don't even know how to...

    I hear this all the time (I live in an area with lots of capped satellite connections). The truth of the matter is that 99% of end users have no idea what their computer is actually doing, how to view current connections and throughput on their routers, or what processes consume more data than...

    You could then have them compete against each other in a dick sucking olympics, where only gold medalists get their medicine. The bottom three could have a hunger games playoff. I'm counting both of your kids in here for numbers of course.

    Also the fact that all the running around is paid for in side deals and embezzlement. Not to mention the stress of having H on you? Didn't you do that once? I'd probably develop IBS if I was holding for my whore on the side.

    I concede that it was I who was wrong. You did previously state that it was a bj from a stripper. The FB thing is weird though. There were so many solutions to this problem. Did you want to get caught?

    If it is not showing up, then your device is just a 2.4ghz 802.11n device. Those are really good speeds though for 2.4, so I wouldnt bother messing with any channel planning. If you need more speeds, or faster internal speeds, I would recommend getting the USB AC adapter that was linked earlier.

    But really, Landmark should just be the game, and they should rebuild EQ Next, with a better name, better art style, different engine, and focus. Unfortunately, the only reason anyone is still playing Landmark is because they think their grand creations will make it into EQ Next.

    Usually it is just other routers from neighbors, or wISPs running full blast. Can also be cordless devices (telephones), harmonics of other devices (refrigerators, microwaves, and sometimes even individual components). You can download an app for android called Wifi Analyzer that will do a...

    If you ever have problems with wireless, 99% of the time its interference, either self induced or due to your environment. Are you connecting to the 5ghz SSID with your laptop? I always name mine different so that I know which is which. IE SSID and SSID_5G.
