Re: Getting 305/65 It's a matter of perspective. 10 years ago nobody needed more than 1.5mbps.
People don't need about 80% of the stuff they have. |

Hehe funny you should say that because 14yrs ago I had 8Mbps Cable  .... yeah didn't need it but my friends were sure happy that I had it though! This was in the AOL 56K and DSL 768K "super fast" days.  |

14 years ago, HSI was not available in my neighborhood in the heart of Silicon.
DSL arrived first, and I could choose between 768k and 1.5M. Cable arrived three years later.

I was referring to modern times. Such as when Verizon started with their 300Mbps speed tiers and Comcast reacted with their own speed bumps. Or when most if not all other cable and FiOS and satellite providers started allowing customers to stream live television and recorded shows from the DVR's to their smartphones and tablets and laptops over the internet and Comcast has yet to nationwide. |

Wow, I'm jealous. Will be interesting to see if it stays symmetrical.  |

It's a disgrace that there isn't any FiOS out there of all places and you guys are forced to endure comcast or u-verse. |

The only South S.F. Bay Area communities which possibly could get FiOS are Monte Sereno and Los Gatos; where Verizon is the ILEC.
However, AT&T has deployed U-verse FTTH in some of the new condos built near Fruitvale and Meridian in San Jose in the last three years, or so (but they don't offer the full potential of the fiber).
Also a couple of CLEC services offer FTTH: Paxio in the City of Santa Clara, and Sonic.net, LLC in the North S.F. Bay Area. Long term, Sonic.net seems determined to offer FTTH in all communities where they currently offer their "Fusion" service.
In the Sacramento area, Roseville Telephone Company (now called, "Surewest") has had fiber deployed in some parts of their footprint since 1996, or so.
Nothing as widespread as Verizon's FiOS; but it is available in some California communities.

Figured it was time for another update. Connection is really solid (as it should be).
Haven't had a chance to play with it too much as I've been away on a business trip to a branch office for the whole week. Spent about 30 hours with it before I had to catch a flight.
The graphs aren't that exciting as this is a 1 hour avg so it doesn't accurately capture the big peaks.
When I was at the data center friday night, remote desktop was pretty awesome at ~2 ms.
One final note is the 95/5 calculation on the RRD only takes into account v4 traffic. |

| I don't believe you mentioned, but are you using the comcast provided router or a different enterprise class device? |

pfsense box. I put the Comcast provided 802.11ac router into bridge mode and have it configured as an AP in my network.
The Comcast provided router was fine, just a little limiting if you're a power user. As an AP, I am able to get 300+mbits over it. |

I would love to run some major IPv6 traffic over my connection, hopefully someday I can get dual stack on my business class connection.
That said, on the 305/65 service offering, is it only dynamic IP's, or can you get a small block of static's on it? I know better than to think BGP, but one can dream.. |

Everything is static.
/64 (soon to be /56, NetDog - more VLANs equals more traffic )
Not sure about v4, everything is on-net (routed to vlan). I've been given a paper w/ just one address. It's inside a /29 so in theory I could arp the other 5. Looking at the traffic on the wan int, I'm the only customer on that VLAN so who knows.
Maybe it's a dedicated VLAN to just me and I can use the entire /29 but doubtful.
Then again, who cares about v4. :P |

You could always pull an Owen DeLong (GRE tunnel your business cable connection to a data center, run BGP from there). |

Abingdon, MD | Well don't need BGP here at my place, but I have a GIF tunnel running from my home to the datacenter. At the DC I am all dual-stack and BGP for both v4 and v6, so that takes care of that. I just hate to have to reflect into the DC to get my connectivity and back out, native access is preferred, plus then I can use the ASA far better..
Nice on the connectivity whfs, I use a lot of Comcast's MetroE services, in fact they were pulling more fiber for me today, so know that fiber and Ciena switches work very well.. |

Just another random speedtest. They've adjusted since QoS settings since last Friday which seem fine. I'm getting 70-100 upload, about 300mbit down.
^ test was really done over v6 |
