Re: In other news... Clever, but...
The piss poor uptime we get from Time Warner is noticeably costing us in payroll and production. The slow transfer rates force employees to work more slowly when connected to our remote computers. It also annoys the employees who are adept at using computers quickly, reduces morale, and again reduces productivity.
The slow transfer rates limit backup solutions. The Gigabit speeds or even 100 Megabit speeds available from the Hong Kong Broadband Network would be capable of handling us sending data backups to our office (without even abusing our connection). However, since we are a small company with lease agreements to deal with, the fastest internet we can get is an oversold 15 Mbps. With downtime, network contention, and some companies sending us data two weeks or a month at a time, networked office backups will be at best, often out of date.
We can find plenty of money in government waste and funded illegal activities (read the Constitution, there are PLENTY of those) to fund something like public data networks, which will actually be used by the people funding it, unlike funding a study to determine that people outgrow wetting their bed. |
