Kudos!

Good for them! It's nice to see speeds inching toward symmetrical.

How long before they're a news item here due to throttling Bittorrent traffic though?

Re: Kudos!

Definitely good news for those in madison. 6/3 isn't bad. Considering most of the U.S. is not going to get fios or other services, this would be a great next best thing. 3mbit up is pretty respectable considering its 375KB/S.

Re: Kudos!

and most of Madison is not getting WiMax so nothing changes....

Available to about 1/4 of Madison and about 1/10 of metro area it appears. Probably the same people in line to get the next great thing from whatever ISP is there now.

Actually, it's not. Maybe for your Roadrunner it is but for ATT DSL there is no prohibition on servers. They are explicitly allowed.

Re: Kudos!

That's not the ATT DSL (sbcglobal.net) TOS. Try again.

So AT&T Worldnet DSL and AT&T DSL via SBC Global are two separate entities?

Re: Kudos!

Yup. ATT Worldnet is the dialup ISP they ran before being eaten by the cowboys in Texas. They had DSL in some markets but not very much.

The current ATT DSL TOS states: "[S]ervice is intended for use with a single computer or a network of computer/servers."

I wonder what they thought people would use their DSL line for, if not a single or network of computers? Ha.

Re: Kudos!

That's just an excerpt from a longer section, but yeah. It is language which used to be used to distinguish between business and personal use but the distinction was erased years ago. The wording is still there though, and you can bet the lawyers get paid by the word...
