I thought that microsoft called their codec VC-9, not VC-1. Either the name was reported wrong or there is another codec from microsoft called VC-1. Anyone able to clear this up?
When onestep comes out I plan to try it. I don't think I will be caught because I'm going to set the speeds to the setting they ARE ADVERTISED AT.I might not get an increase, but its worth a try. I'm supposed to get 1500k down and 128k up.
Those are both kilobits per second measured with kilo meaning 1000 not 1024.(as defined by communication term of kilo not storage term.) I have comcast and I have NEVER got the top speed as I did with @home. I understand if I don't get it all the time, or maybe not often but "never" is different! The top speed I have ever gotton is 900k down and 96k up. So if they are cheating us by setting the numbers (that we can't see) lower than they are supposed to, I will be fighting back. Its like a butcher's thumb on the scale, and I'm not going to fall for it. And if any records show that I am going faster than everyone else, I will still be BELLOW the allowed speed they say I can go.
