Horrible, absolutely horrible. My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone with family/friends who are still in New Orleans right now.

Looks very good for the price. Is it a name brand laptop such as HP, Compaq etc...?

You shoudl recieve the upgrade by 6:00 p.m. if you called before then on a business day. if not, wait til next business day then check by rebooting the modem after 6. If you notice the speeds go up and down, don't worry, it can take 1-3 days for the upgrade to become fully in effect. if nothing happens within 4 business days, call them back.

Charter is cheap. I am sure their network could handle another meg on the download and 128k on the upload. If not, they are in a sad, sad, way.

yea, but the test looks real to be honest. To me anyway.

thank you

dude, why did u bring this topic back? There was no point to it and no need for it.

you may not get the 8 your advertised for but dude, stop complaining, this scores are pretty decent.

Not too sure about this, but I think that most people knew that already. Maybe not the exact specs but about it, but check this post out I made a while ago about new DSL technologies. http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=6711.msg73206#msg73206

Hollywoodx954x: Your post has no relevance, makes so sense and was unneccessary. bighawk211: They are talking about even though their upload speed is good, close to/on their cap, they have problems hosting their games wether it be via PC or XBOX

is BellSouth your current ISP? If so, and if you think they are crap, but you have to realize there will probably be a different support for Business Class Customers, which, if you would get a T1 line, you would get.

uhhh.... what?

thats why you pay at least 500 bucks a month for it.

Give it time, FiOS is being deployed SO fast, that verizon doesn't have enough workers to do the work and stuff. So they are hiring 3rd party contracters to do the work. And as in the past, one Verizon department doesn't know what the other is doing.

its shared bandwidth but only within the network your on. No outside factors. if you have 1 computer sitting behind it, you will get a full 1.5Mbps BOTH ways. People don't pay for the speed of the T1, you pay for it because of the stability, the roundtrip times(as said above) and symmetrical service. Now you ask, why shouldn't I get a SDSL line like blunted has for a lot less. Reason being: Its still DSL and can have the problems it has. But usually not since its a business line.

they might, i dunno,

I wonder if its Dark Fiber

i hope it comes to my area.... the chinese place is like 5-10 minutes away, varying by traffic, i live in a small town right outside of Somerset, PA called Berlin. The annual Whiskey Rebellion is held in the town every year. But on that note if we do get it... WOOHOOO YES YES I LOVE GOD!

this is part of the Verizon Yahoo! Promo

Just got take out at a local Chinese restaurent. My container/box thing that had my rice in is a FiOS Box! Its all colorful and stuff, and it says Verizon FiOS(FiberOptic Internet Service) on them. Is this an indication or am I fantasizing again? Here is a crappy Pic, but the top says See the light and the bttom said Verizon FiOS Fiber-Optic Internet Service in a red, orange white, green, blue and black box.

only went up 13c here, from 2.48-2.51, i heard that if noone buys gas tomorrow(thursday) that the gas company will be out 4.2 billion dollars

they should, cyber crimes is or was a foremost in providing links to pirated software and stuff.

Dunno, Randy hasn't been online in a while, but why do you need a warez site anyway.... heh

With my Linksys WRT54G router, i cant even go upstairs in my new house, but I think thats caused by the 3/4" steel plates in between the floors. but otherwise in the old house, maybe 75 feet max and still connect.

Your not gonna get much else out of the download, almost gaurenteed. Try the DHCP Fiber Optic File.
