Folks never cease to amaze me on their lack of internet knowledge... I've noticed that PNG gives you the better quality and smaller file size when using print screen to take screenshots and saving them as a PNG in Microsoft Paint. Otherwise, I use JPG for everything else. | |

| | | | | Re: nice OH! MY! We wait all this time for 6.0 and as soon as it's really here the tears start to roll. SAD, just take time and enjoy your new connection. | |
|
| | | | | | Re: nice Don't you have to be literally glued to the CO to receive this speed?
Like other folks here, I am more concerned with the significantly lower upstream bandwidth and higher latency, as my use for the connection is much more symmetric in nature. No, it's not business, it should be symmetric, as I need to synchronize files among a few computers, and operate one remotely from the other. | |
|
| | | | | | | Re: nice I've seen services offered for symmetric. You might try to find a small local-brand provider who can do that for you. You might be surprised at what you can get. In Nashville, Butler Networks (run by a guy I used to go to college with) has a lot of specialty services. Maybe there's some service like that in your local market. | |

kudos:12 | Re: nice $72.95 + $24.99 (Unlimited Long Distance) = $97.94 + taxes
Let's compare apples to apples here.
Once you add taxes and fees, you get 2Mbps LESS downstream and probably end up paying more. | |

| | | Dont complain, the fastest speed in my Charter Area is 2000/128 | |

Louisiana | Bottom line? What's the bottom line price after all the fees and other fat included? I'm also assuming this isn't available "naked", so include a plain vanilla POTS cost too.

Lake Forest, IL | That is "benefit" of Comcast, you only need to include the $18 extra for not having Cable TV - it doesn't seem like they have as many "fees" that they try and blame on the government. | |

Deerfield Beach, FL | bye bye comcast! as much as I hate Bellsouth, comcast is worse! Those invisible caps. Also, if the wind blows hard here in FL, comcast goes down. Comcast only has 6meg down/384 up. So even better. Everyone around me in Plantation FL, has their cable back up but my complex! | |

hiatus | Cox is going to have to update its advertising... For the longest time Cox has been saying they are faster than Bellsouth, but it looks like that's no longer the case.
It will be interesting to see if Cox will respond in kind and produce a faster speed tier, say 7Mbps or spread the 15Mbps tier to more Bellsouth areas, or if they are just going to roll over.

Jacksonville, FL | BS Field Tech I spoke with a BS field tech today and he said they are having a meeting tomorrow to review the support for the new service.
I asked about the 5000 feet to CO question and he basically said it depends on how it is trunked back to the CO.
Copper to Fiber trunk, Copper to T1 trunk, or Copper to a Bundle trunk.
The first is desirable, the last is not.
If there is any 26 gauge copper between you and the trunk or CO, you can pretty much forget about it. The other trunks are dependent on the electronics installed at the trunk box.
| |
|
| | | Re: BS Field Tech He was wrong. You can have 26 gauge. It doesn't matter if it is fed by fiber,copper,t1,etc.....It only matters where the dslam is placed,in the field or in the CO | |

A 30 year veteran BS field tech, I would like to think he knows something. He said the crosstalk on the older 26 gauge would cause problems if its a long distance from the DSLAM. | |

| | | | | Re: BS Field Tech Yeah, that's right. The key words are LONG DISTANCE, more than 20,000ft. | |

How about that, I guess he does know something. And while you dispense your chip on the shoulder feedback, why don't you register with the site instead of lurking from the shadows.
In the event you may be wrong, (is that possible?) we can let you know just as quickly. | |

Bossier City, LA | + In my area there is Bellsouth and there is TWC.
I don't know of anyone using Bellsouth,everybody has RoadRunner.Mostly cause TWC spanks Bell in price and speed.
Now maybe since Bellsouth is offering 6000/512 Roadrunner will raise their residentiual speeds to stay on top.By doing so they will then have to raise the Premium speeds in witch I currently have.
