a 1000mbps dedicated backhaul line is $5,250/mo here. that works out to be $5.25 per megabit That's how much the munifiber isp here in town pays for one of their backhaul lines
So a 10Mbps dedicated line would cost a minimum of $52.50/mo before isp costs.
Why would anyone be afraid to heat their house with propane? Its pretty safe. Well unless its contaminated with fluorine. http://www.sequoyahcountytimes...
No one seems willing to pay for the damages either....
Att has been trying to get people to replace their landline here with uverse voip. But they aren't replacing the lines they just run it through your dsl line adding several extra points of failure. If they ever roll out fiber sure id let them replace the copper line but that's not ever going to happen.
Is it legal for them to call voip over dsl "fiber optic phone service"? Because that's how they were advertising it
Yeah It makes me chuckle every time I go by verizon and they mention what a good job we do at keeping our phones on wifi. up to 90GB this month. (vzw unlimited aircard at the house runs 2 wifi ap's) (yes I know the rates are going up $20 this month)
At work I have a 12/1 att uverse dsl line. Download is fast enough for what we do with it. However a faster uplink would be really nice even just half a meg faster would make a lot of things work.
Yeah I don't know why netflix is so adamant about refusing to offer something like that as with the current setup it is not feasible to use a satellite connection to watch netflix. When I left wildblue they had capacity for about 400,000 users and couldn't get the modems built fast to keep installers stocked.
Now unless you happen to be able to stay up all night to watch netflix you can't
Blocked by rain or snow on either end of the connection my gateway was in syracuse ny it rains a lot there..Oh would you look at that its raining there right now isn't that nice?
I haven't had sat service in several years now yet the modem will still sync up with anik f2 (if I plug it in). So i've had pretty good luck with it staying put.
had a 17gb down 5 gb up rolling usage limit. always stayed right next to the cap it was 22/7GB limit when I signed up (not promotional standard) but they changed it after the first month I had service.
Then why limit speed also? I know some already do only charge for the data not the speed like cellular providers and some satellite providers.
For example; I received an email a few days ago from yourkarma letting me know they now offered neverstop unlimited cellular data with the catch that its rate limited to 5Mbps.
Which is in contrast to their original prepaid data with no speed limits.
Or exede satellite which offers 12/3 speeds regardless of what plan you choose.
Yeah you will need a good download manager for that assuming you dialup isp kicks you after 3 hours like the ones here do.
Set aside about 5 hours for the transfer.
I used to average about 100MB usage per day on dialup. 53.2kbps connection I had a really good quality line. left it connected 24/7. had to redial every 3 hours or so.
12/1 att business plan $45/mo (with phone) sticky ip and no caps 10/10 city fiber business plan $55/mo static ip and no caps 8/1 suddenlink business plan $135/mo (static ip?) no caps
Not bad pricing imho with the exception of suddenlink.
city fiber residential no caps 10/? $35/mo 20/? $55/mo
suddenlink residential 15/1 $35/mo capped
att residential
12/1 $35/mo if bundled with phone service and capped.
I haven't looked but I assume it's just a requirement that it can be used without an extra controller. However I bet most will not bother to make their apps work well with the included remote and will optimise it for a gaming controller anyway.
Kind of like how some versions of guitar hero let you use the ps3 remote in substitution of the instrument controller. It's not practical but it works in a pinch.
Whaaaat? So I can't immediately take up the all of the available space on your apple tv with my awesome calculator app? It's only 30GB but the graphics are awesome!
In all seriousness Fallout 4 is supposedly going to be a 28GB download. But the 50MB cellular limit on iphone/ipad is a pita.
I want to think that amazon/netflix/hulu/crunchyroll actually have a much better idea of what people actually watch. As they get the stats directly. Instead of a bunch of nelson's. Why is survivor still on? Its definitely not because people want to watch it.
However there does seem to be a race to the bottom going on for tv programming If everything on is crap you just need the least crappy show to sell ads. So they don't try very hard anymore.
Wuala used to work like this however they closed down entirely a few months ago. The only operating distributed storage service I am aware of is symform.
Microsoft was supposed to add in p2p update sharing on lan back in windows vista. It certainly took them long enough.
I was thrilled when Yahoo mail was upgraded to unlimited storage from 4MB. I was also rather annoyed when they rolled back to just 1TB of email storage.
According to the new usage meter I am using 0.05% of my 1TB.
I think it's one of many things that we just didn't realise how dangerous it was at the time. Just some the things I can think of. Mercury used to be sold as a toy to children. Radioactive glow in the dark paint. Drinking radioactive water for better health. Shoe-fitting xray machines.
Anyone would tell you that those were terrible dangerous ideas today but at one time it was considered safe.
At one point in time there was a large push to find a peaceful use for nuclear explosives (see the DOE's plowshare program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) but no one was ever able to make one detonate cleanly enough to consider it safe.
The test detonation is not really the dangerous part at this point It's the weather. In years past https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... (1954 Castle Bravo) the winds have shifted and exposed unexpected areas to fallout.
I would like to think we can predict the weather better today than we could in the 1950's but If you have ever tried to plan around a weather forecast you know how inaccurate they can be.
Afaik kim jong un has not agreed to any nuclear testing treaties although so far all the claimed tests have taken place underground. I don't know of any other countries that are still doing testing.
Personally while I think it's interesting I think we should give up on keeping nukes on weapons dump the money into energy research or start a home for homeless squirrels anything really would be better than keeping huge stockpiles of expensive dangerous weapons that we aren't allowed to use anyway.
Slashdot Mirror
Large business gets put in at the end of the line and suddenly the people who live on top of the hill can't get water at certain hours of the day.
Took about a year but a larger water line was eventually placed to handle the demand.
They seem to have a lot of fun with the pex tubing nowadays.
Maybe someday they will fix the leak at the pump station...its had water standing around it for several years now.

However 1 bitcoin is roughly $400. While still less than 10 bitcoins its not nothing either.

Is there a newsletter I can sign up for or a changelog I can read so I don't have to guess where things have moved every few weeks?
Good thing they don't believe in vaccines or voting either.

Google play doesn't seem to work with much of anything really.
