<title>Bandwidth Usage Estimations</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21205353</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have devoted, literally, close to an entire week to bandwidth usage estimation and I am running into a brick wall.  My basic situation is this: I am the systems administrator for a small company that will be running a wireless ISP for a condo complex.  I estimate that there will be roughly 100-150 unique users, read homes, that will get involved.  If each home had 2 computers that would, on the extreme side, mean 300 computers trying to access the internet (its doubtful though).  For the life of me I can't figure out if a single DS3 should cover it, assuming of course that every user wont be on or requiring 45mbit/s to check email.  The idea is to provide high speed wireless, but we want to do it right.  So, given that limited amount of info, assuming we have a complex of avg internet users, should a single DS3 cut it, or would it be prudent to look at one full DS3 + a partial/ burstable DS3 for overrun during peak hours?]]></description>

<title>Fiber construction accident</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21206249</link>
<description><![CDATA[I learned today that a good friend, Randy Mock of Marlinton, WV,  is in a coma today following a fiber construction accident. Apparently a 7,500 volt line on a pole full of violations broke. He is in the Pittsburg burn center and could use your prayers.

<title>My neighbor&#x27;s in my building get Uverse &#x26;amp; I don&#x27;t</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21148523</link>
<description><![CDATA[I live in a condo (4 units in building) in St. Louis, MO.  Units A,B & C have availability but not D (me). Building next door just had uverse connected and I'm in between them and the &#147;FTTN&#148;.  I have a case open from 9/10/08 to check availability.  At first they said 48 hours and now they say up to a month.  Excuses are:  Sending everyone to Houston (I saw 4 trucks this morning on the way to work?), May not have enough ports (FT laughed when I approached them on that, he was working on the hub 4 buildings down the street).  Two FT's (one uverse guy) say it was not input into the system for availability and keep hounding AT&T.  AT&T's system will recognise my address but not for uverse.  Optical line was installed 3 months ago at the entrance to our condo association. I don't have a phone line activated, use my cell phone.

What are my options? Just wait? Please advise.
If you are a FT and would like to check my address, please e-mail me for address. Other wise my case is under my name.

I hate Charter and have nothing but troubles, trees in way for dish & my OTA HD cuts out bad.  :(]]></description>
