New site? Maybe some day.
|
It's now available in my area.
$35/month for 5Mbps down & 2Mbps up
or
$45/month for 15Mbps down & 2Mbps up |
|
15 down, holy crap!
My bro did tcwo 'broadband' it was dsl, on bathtub crank, but even here in NH it was very spotty. Our comcast up here is pretty consistent, so he stayed with that, but the tcwo would have spurts of 10 mb down, and when it worked it was amazing. |

2Mbps up? that's getting close to being able to run RTTP from my home...
I need 10Mbps for that |
|
i have rcn on one of those sketchy broadband tests it says
Download Speed: 10177 kbps (1272.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 712 kbps (89 KB/sec transfer rate)
is fios through the phone-line? |
|
its fiber optic cable... FIOS = Fiber Optics, Oh Shit! |

it probably won't be too much longer before the 10Mbps upload mark is a common thing, but wouldn't you need more then that to run RTTP if downloads are like >30~50 Mbps?
I ran a site from my house before, and the only worries I ever had were power outages, and comcast with their occasional hiccups. |

Just like any other residential broadband, web servers aren’t allowed in their ToS. I’ve been trying to piece together some info I’ve been reading with what a professor at my school was telling me. He had FiOS service that he was using for business. He was mentioning something about how his servers and routers weren’t able to work as they should. He said they were NATing out an address to you. That seems to be the case now that I’m reading that the next hop outside of the router they provide you will be a 10.x.x.x IP somewhere in Verizon land off your property. I’ve also read that like DSL, FiOS uses PPPoE (boo). If you sign up for the business plan for boatloads more cash, though, I believe they will give you static IPs and ditch the NAT crap. I think my professor was just a cheap asshole trying to use the residential service, which sounds like him.
During installation Verizon apparently comes to your house, runs fiber from the pole down to an optical network terminal (ONT) that they install outside your house. This thing also supposedly has a battery backup in it. Your home phone is also converted over to fiber too. As far as I know, they run Cat5e out of this thing into your house. I assume they connect this thing to your old phone demarc too. This thing is also cable ready, so when they decide to offer their FiOS TV service they’ll be using this as well. |

That's no fun but is probably designed to limit its usefulness to spam, bots, back orifice, etc.

|
Hell yes.
|
|
that's a lot of internet porn. |

If I ever win the lottery and I get that I'm sure I can find a way for that to be too slow for me. |
|
You need to win the lottery for $45/month? |
|

|
The rev's gonna be jacked. |

I'm pretty sure the price I was looking at was $389.00 a month for a Fat Pipe connection. |
|
if I could get 10Mbps dedicated to my home, the RTTP server would be there. |

Ahh, yeah that's just an unrelated ad for a T1 line. |
|
I unconfused it:
|
|
i just got 20Mps/5Mbps Fios so sick i upload at like 350 kbytes sometimes which seems higher than its rated. |
|
damn i only got
Download Speed: 4803 kbps (600.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 349 kbps (43.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
my comcast sucks. |
|
if I could get 10Mbps, rttp would be sitting beside me. |
|
on a quadcore machine with 4GB RAM. |
|
im very upset that fios upstream is faster than my downstream |
|
i think he means he doesnt have fios. |
|
rowan just downloaded a movie from me. hes in NY... he got 427K/s avg in the log. its like being on a local wifi network practically
|
|
yeah i have shitty cable with my local cable company. i cant get roadrunner or fios or anything. even verizon dsl would be faster than my cable. |
|
I'm supposed to have 5 MB service through Charter, and have thought my service has been incredibly slow. Just took that test and got:
Last Result:
Download Speed: 370 kbps (46.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 122 kbps (15.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Should I be calling Charter bitching tomorrow? |
|
try the speed test using different servers. if you keep getting around that then yeah i would be complaining. tell them you want to be refunded for all the months that you havn't been getting the full speed. |
|
20585 kbps down 4244 kbps up on NY
the rest of the cities show drastically lower results. |
|
I still love FiOS. I'm seeding torrents almost 24/7. Only had about 15 minutes of downtime as far as I can tell in the 9 months I've had it. |
