Yes, that is the problem with the internet. If we jsut got rid of all those pesky routers, the whole internet would be so much faster.

Worst advice ever.

The protection offered by a router far out weighs any tiny loss of speed one might see.

God bless you but it sure seems like a waste of money to have close to 100% internet coverage. Do you get that many outages? I can't recall having an outage for years and that was because a truck took down my line from the pole. I do know though people that work from their homes and they really do need backup, usually a DSL though for that purpose.
lolz, anytime i have an outtage is an entire outtage meaning a pole got hit or the power went out, at which time means neither of your internet connections will work, lulz

or does he also have a satellite internet connection with a diesel powered generator as well? lol]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23294438 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:14:40 EDT Re: Tier Upgrades anytime soon? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23288645 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23288645 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:25:02 EDT Re: Tier Upgrades anytime soon? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23288636 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23288636 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:19:20 EDT Re: Tier Upgrades anytime soon? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23288364 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23288364 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:02:00 EDT Re: Tier Upgrades anytime soon? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23287737 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23287737 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:39:00 EDT Re: Tier Upgrades anytime soon? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23287462
Fios has port 80 open on residential accounts now too :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23287462 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:44:51 EDT Re: Tier Upgrades anytime soon? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23287458
FIOS is more consistent but if you live in a place where OOL service is good like I do, OOL is a better deal.



Boost also gives you the ability to open port 80 for your web server.... something that makes it worth the money for me because I was able to dump my hosting service.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23287458 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:44:28 EDT Re: Tier Upgrades anytime soon? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23287288 said by MxxCon:

online gaming only requires about 700mbps transfer speed(both ways) problem is DLS and Cable both use Ethernet cables so theres no way to void out the older technology like they did when the newer consoles came out without the phonejack inputs for dialup which PS2 and Xbox's had.

so you get a bunch of people with DSL or just really bad cable isp's who either have the bare minimum of what would be required to host/join an online multiplayer game or their bandwidth is badly managed on their end with multiple computers browsing the net at the same time, ect..

as you see DSL is right at the bare minimum of required upload speeds

so any lag you get with the 15/2(considering you properly administer your home network) wont be on your end, but more overhead can never hurt an its only 9-10 bucks for boost anyways.

i really hope when the next gen of consoles come out they include a bandwidth monitor that auto detects your speed an only allows those that pass to join the lobby.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23286730 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:29:15 EDT Re: Tier Upgrades anytime soon? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23286217
Isn't boost $65 a month with just internet only ? I pay $70 for 25/15 and get 26/30 so its worth it if you use it so it depends on what you want and need for your choice in service.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23286217 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:55:07 EDT Re: Tier Upgrades anytime soon? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23285338
you do not need Boost for online gaming.
regular OOL has more than enough bandwidth for every multiplayer game out there.

PHAT PIPE means nothing if your online game's traffic is a trickle.
low latency/fast response is what's important. ool and boost do no affect your lately unless your lince gets close to saturation.

But my question, as seen in the title, is whether anyone has info on an upgrade across the whole OOL service? Standard OOL has been at 15/2 for quite some time now, and with FIOS providing 15/5 and 25/15 i'd like for CV to start competing a bit.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Tier-Upgrades-anytime-soon-23285222 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:07:44 EDT
