I should make the point that most router manufacturers have improved congestion handling, but usually only in a heterogenous network. You won't find that on the Interwebs.
Uhm... I was talking plain old TCP. Congestion problems with TCP/IP are well known and much work has been done, mostly by the BSD/Linux folks, on dealing with congestion. Around 85% utilization of a link, TCP with most older stacks will fall straight off the cliff into retransmission hell. Newer stacks deal with it much better but often you need to have that newer congestion handling throughout the packet path.
We're talking Bell Canada here. No states. You can find this information easily, I have better things to do... since I am typing this from my hot tub watching Zeitgeist on my laptop right now.:)
Don't know why. The cable providers are doing the same thing and by some accounts, they are more stringent in their caps or shaping. They started well before Bell.
He's right. 11 billion dollars of grants for setting up the DSL infrastructure (and naturally they don't want third-party ISPs using it, even thought they didn't pay for it themselves).
However, now that it needs to be upgraded, no further grants are forthcoming. Why would they be? People don't want to pay anything... much less more.
So, you don't want to pay more for essentially dedicated Internet accesss... but you expect them to pay billions of dollars to upgrade their infrastructure. Got it.
Hie you to the eBay and look up some cheap Tranzeo outdoor 5.2Ghz or 5.8Ghz radios. Get 11Mbps (around 6Mbps usable) no problem at several miles, if you have line of sight.
Or for a really kick-ass system, find some used Trango Atlas radios with integrated antennas. 54Mbps signalling rate and I have two pair of them that are doing 20 mile (30km) links with external antennas.
The acts of Saddam Hussein pale in comparison of real numbers. The fact that you didn't post any supporting numbers tells the story. By most accounts, hundreds of thousands of people were gassed and yes it was a terrible thing, utterly undefendable. But then you find out that Saddam was a CIA-trained man who was supported by the U.S. and they were giving him aid and military alliances for many years.
Any way you look at it, Americans have blood all over their hands and they're headed directly to a totalitarian police state in their own country at an accelerating rate. You say you're a veteran... are you aware that if you reported any trauma over what you saw in the war, the government won't let you own guns? A little over a year ago they started taking vet guns, look it up. And they're going to take ALL the guns if you let them. Then the people won't have any way of protecting yourself and you'll end up like a citizen of one of the socialist countries where the cops will happy tag your body and make chalk marks on the ground where you died, and put you in jail if you try to defend yourself.
It's amazing how blind some people can be. Right now, the U.S. is threatening Iran with nuclear strikes. I see someone already posted the information below.
As for killing brown people, deaths between Iraq and Afghanistan are deep in the millions. Neither of these countries had anything like that kind of death rate before Bush got a wild hair and did the carpet-bomb hoochie-koo on them, then invaded their countries. UNESCO/UNICEF estimate the Afghani deaths related to U.S. occupation (and other allies like Canada and Britain, of course) at a minimum of 3.3 million. Look it up.
Honestly... can you really be that blind/stupid or are you being purposely self-serving by denying the facts?
Uhm.. you do realize that the U.S. is in practically every country in the world, throwing its weight around, killing off brown people at a horrendous rate, destabilizing governments and economies, and threatening nuclear war with its biggest peers?
I'd say that maybe America is to blame for a lot more than it'd like to admit.

Here in Ontario, the municipalities sold a big chunk of the pole right-of-ways to the hydro companies. Best of luck getting co-operation from Hydro One. We should all be incensed, seeing as how the taxpayers built and paid for them.
Myopic thinking. The value and the income from those access points will be a fraction of what can be carried over fibre. Namely voice, data, video, emergency services, business services like remote backup, et al.
But forget that, it's the least of your worries. Your real problem will be to make the access points and subscribers not all hear each other in the limited frequency available, drowning each other out, causing network brownouts (or blackouts), hurting efficiency, causing lag and re-registrations, etc. Go downtown Toronto and you'll see what I mean. It just doesn't work the way people want it to.
If you have line of sight, everything is just fine. 30km is easily do-able. If you don't, then physics is just a bitch, my friends. At 3.5Ghz, you aren't going to get through much no matter what you do... the waves (or particles, depending on how you observe them) are going to be like bullets hitting water, the larger the calibre, the less far you can get the bullet with any real force.
700Mhz spectrum should be interesting. It has monstrous value and application - however the performance will be an issue since it can go so far, but doesn't have that many cycles to use for bandwidth compared to multi-Ghz radios. The temptation to put 1,000 people on a single 54Mbps (my wild-ass best estimate for performance) access point will be extremely hard to avoid.
I don't like piracy, and I don't advocate it. That said, you can't beat the Chronological X-Men torrents. Simply incredible stuff for comic buffs.
Hell, I was out of comics for 20 years or more (Heavy Metal excepted) and this is what got me back in.
Thing is, I have bought over $4K worth of Ultimate collections (X-men, Spider-man, House of M, Civil War, etc.) because I want the quality books in my own hands. So if Marvel doesn't over-react, I think they have nothing to fear from those of us who want the real thing.
On the other side of the coin, I will never buy comic books again. If they're not collected in graphic novels, I won't buy them. Too much wait, too costly, not as high a quality as the collected graphic novels. But I'm nearly 40.:/
That wasn't an official release, then. I bought something similar, cost me $30 and had dick-all on it for comics. Used DJView for the comics, though... very good quality.

Sounds good, except it's not true. I was just on one of our spam systems (Barracuda 400) and the stats look something like this:
20,000,000 blocked e-mails 480,000 tagged e-mails 90,000 viruses found 135,000 quarantined messages (user choice to quarantine or not) 610,000 delivered/approved mail
To nobody's surprise, some spam is still getting through. This is in less than two weeks, and there are two servers to handle the load, the other one is more or less as bad.
So what were you saying about not using blacklists?
People keep saying this. It's not usually true, and do not understand why. Having a large Internet connection doesn't mean everything comes to you at higher speeds. I have a gigabit connection right to my desktop at work and speeds vary from 20KBps to 10MB/s and I might have both download windows side by side. Never seen anything higher than that unless I was looking for a specific network path that I knew could deliver it.
If you don't know something, it's best not to misinform others.

There, we agree.

You're aware that they have costs, right? The naivety towards business pressures in the regular populace still amazes me after years as a businessman.
I *hate* that I find myself in the position of defending Bell, which has some of the worst business practices anywhere.
We're talking Bell Canada here. No states. You can find this information easily, I have better things to do... since I am typing this from my hot tub watching Zeitgeist on my laptop right now. :)
Don't know why. The cable providers are doing the same thing and by some accounts, they are more stringent in their caps or shaping. They started well before Bell.
When TCP/IP links get to 80% or more, they are essentially saturated. It takes a lot of abuse to get that last 20% of capacity to show up on a graph.

Tell me where they're killing white people in large numbers? And don't assume that I'm not white myself, btw.

Good luck seeing those protests on U.S. television or (more on point) in U.S. newspapers.

Maybe the author doesn't grok the idea of setting the kernel to be responsive for the desktop. It's not rocket science, you know.
"Free HDTV" sourced off a server directly in their own network is different than getting it off the Internet.
