Heh, like i said, i'm nobody special. I go to a major University, (Syracuse University
They could probably use their services though... Our OC-3 connection is probably costing us a pretty penny.
I'm just inquiring about your services because i'll be moving back to boston soon, and i know there would be a LOT of residents that would be interested in your services. The only other options for broadband are Media One Cable and DSL (provided by Verizon). From what i hear, both those services are piss poor. So if you guys start wiring up apartment complexes, i sure as hell would like to know about it.
Hmm, i would, but it's not like i'm anyone special... i don't own a business and i'm not some bigwig landlord... I think it would make more sense to post the info here:)
Are you going to install a MAN ring around the Boston area anytime soon? As you might know, Boston is a highly dense metropolitan area with a booming economy. It would make a LOT of sense to hook it up ASAP (ok so i'm pandering you for a hookup, but hey, all the stuff i've said is true:P)
Hmm, maybe not such a good deal as i first thought. Some anonymous poster brought up a good point about who cogent is peering with. The question is, can cogent afford to peer with a lot of the "big boys" (i.e. UUnet, Exodus, Worldcom, etc.)?
Can't remember the other slashdot article, but it seems to me you have to pay through the nose if you're a small carrier looking to set up a private peering arangment. At $1000 a month for rougly two T3's, can cogent really set up any peering arangements besides the Public Peering Points?
I was looking for Guinness' website and while typing out the web address, my finger slipped and i accidentally typed "www.guinness-really-sucks.com" instead of "www.guinness.com"... Damn that bastard's tricky!
Anyone remember that story about the physicist who discovered how to transmit data over the powerlines? I remember something about how it promised to deliver 2.5 Gbps of bandwidth or something... does anyone know what the progress is on that? I think the name of the company is mediafusion or something...
To the candidates: Do you think the quality of life for the working American has gone down? Economists in the 50's and 60's predicted that we would be working 6 hours a week while technology did all the work for us by the time we hit the year 2000.
But what has really happened? Now instead of 40 hour work weeks, we work 50, 60, and even more. In the high tech industry, some people work 80 to 100 hours a week. How would you, as President, deal with this issue?
On a side note, did anyone ask a question about the H1B visa issue? I think that and the "IT shortage myth" would be good topics to ask about.
Probably because it takes work, knowledge, and money to set that stuff up. I'd rather see whole communities contract that out. You would think Silicon Valley would think of doing something like that since virtually everyone who lives there is probably interested in broadband.
They most likely have to pay for peering with the big boys (i.e. UUnet, sprint, verio, etc.). The question is, how many peering points do they have with them? Their service would be absolutely useless if they could only connect to the public peering points.

True, i just turned 21 but i never want to feel older than 16. I guess this is why i want to become a professional gamer (i.e. slacker).

I believe that if the companies that share the same name are in different industries (in this case software and telecommunications) then it isn't.

But can anyone find a link on cogent's website that shows which apartments/cities/etc. are getting hooked up with them? A cookie if you find it! :)
Thank God my university doesn't poke me in the ass when it comes to our net connect. For $30,000 a year they BETTER have an OC-3
I'm frightened that you knew all that. And i thought I was a freak for remembering the "UP UP DOWN DOWN..." code, lol
Rambus should just go ahead and try to patent copper. It should be obvious that our patent system DOES NOT WORK right now.
Hmm no thanks, i think i'll buy a duron 600 for $44 and O/C it to 900 MhZ and it'll STILL whip the pants off of any celeron.
I bet it couldn't store all my pr0n though =D
Especially considering i'd get to use my ultra high resolution monitor, ultra high refresh rate monitor, instead of my icky 19 inch tv ^^
Bush will bring ruin to this country if elected!

Less attenuation, higher bandwidth, etc... of course yo ushould know that the coax is a shared bandwidth.
fiber would be much faster, no doubt. Which country do you live in?
A 100 person complex would come out to $10 a month, not bad.

Probably because you were lucky enough to get a reliable @home service. People in other locations of the country aren't so lucky.
I believe it's the kind that believes in typographical errors :o)
'nuff said, mod me down all you want , you know it's true. Talk about trivial.
