Re: [CenturyTel] Extreme oversubscription, transparent proxying, said by GetMoney :
The service would be unusable if only 5% of these hundreds were online.
Exactly. It's totally unusable if any of the neighbors happen to be online at the time, which is quite a bit of the time, in fact.

where did you get the information that your area is being served by a single t1 line?
By the same tech guy who had the nerve to try to sell me a T-1 line. Way out in the boondocks here, city slickers.
said by joebleed :
How about the proxy?
From time to time I get an error message that pops up almost immediately---30ms when I look at a tcpdump---that "nginx" failed to proxy some site or another. It certainly couldn't have come from further away than the DSLAM.

When I changed DNS servers to opendns .. my speeds were greatly improved.
I have to try several times to even get a DNS response, no matter where I try to get it from, and then when I do, the connection to the site itself is still unbearably slow. And even when there is no congestion, I never get more than 250Kbps from a site that is not part of a CDN. |
