20:41.47plarsenWOW - a flora of activity here :)
20:41.55plarsenGood afternoon gentlemen (man)
20:51.44plarsenWebsite updated btw.
20:51.50plarsenThanks for a nice short summary
20:57.09sticksternp :-)
21:02.15plarsenI've got plentyful of problems with my "ISP" these days. Way slow and extreeme latencies in the SECONDS makes pretty much anything on the internet "dead".
21:02.24sticksterugh.
21:02.26plarsenComcat "support" of course aint much help
21:02.27sticksterThat's no fun.
21:02.32plarsenSOOO .. any ideas??
21:03.09plarsenI think I'm looking for a "business" deal with GUARENTEED low speeds - hence dedicated connections
21:03.09sticksterWell, I have Cox and have had close to no problems with them
21:03.09plarsenFIOS aint here yet :(
21:03.24plarsendarn it ... "wify calls" ... brb ;)
21:11.03plarsenok, back
21:11.45plarsenI've got very bad experiences with Verizon's DSL too.
21:12.04plarsenBut unfortunately, those are the only players that might cover us here in the boonies :(
21:18.13sticksterA friend of mine is near Seattle but similarly vexed.
21:18.25sticksterHe is using a stopgap solution right now, satellite internet.
21:18.38sticksterBut that's because he knows FiOS is coming his way in < 12 months
21:21.59plarsenYeah, problem is satelite has a huge latency too, plus they won't guarentee anything in bad weather. I've looked into it :(
21:22.26plarsenI see fiber in the ground here ... so I don't think it 10 years away ...
21:23.09plarsenIf it wasn't for the HUGE slowdown these days I would simply just call it the same ... "stopgap" solution until fios .. the dedicated solution that SHOULD be the best of both worlds.
