Makes doing things like remote X sessions suck.
Actually they increased upload to 512K. With a little traffic shaping things work pretty well for me anyway -- The doubling of the upstream was noticable. In current revisions of DOCSIS, if they gave every customer a symmetric 5M (or even 2M) you wouldn't have any service at all. There is not nearly as much RF bandwidth available on the upstream and that engineering problem drives the decision-making on upload caps. > _______________________________________________ > General mailing list > [email protected] > http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net > -- Scott Harney<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Asking the wrong questions is the leading cause of wrong answers" gpg key fingerprint=7125 0BD3 8EC4 08D7 321D CEE9 F024 7DA6 0BC7 94E5
