Just got "upgraded" to SBC "faster" DSL and found little difference. Maybe it's my old computer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

you'll find reliability in general with cable has gone up, just because it is not new anymore. there were lots of problems before because the cable companies had to upgrade their plants to 2-way and maintaining the upstream was a whole new thing to them. as the cable plants have settle in, issues have been fixed and lessons learned by everyone involved. I was a network engineer at @Home from '97-to the closing and now am a network engineer for comcast. there are such fewer problems these days in general. it's deinitely not because of the skill set either, because at comcast I work with a bunch or morons and back in silicon valley there was a bunch of smart people. comcast will also be going to 8Mbps down soon for like $10 extra and standard will be 6Mbps. |
