I don't know, Nick... http://moike.net/proof.jpg
...you tell me. It's no small thanks to me back in the early 90's that you -have- cable internet. 100mb my ass. I've got the best cable technology has to offer right now piped steaming hot directly to the seven foot telco rack of hardware in my house and it still averages 24mb down and about 3 on the upstream. And that's with me 'juiced up' given who -I- am. But I still get a /29. Any schmuck who's willing to pay for a business grade ip dialtone over cable can get static addresses. -Mike- ~~~~ -Mike- is: Biker ~ Slacker ~ Iconoclast ~ Eclectic Thinker ----- Original Message ---- From: Gigabit Nick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 11:28:06 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] Feature request: sv_serverdomain -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Ever heard of cable? 100Mb/s speed, and DHCP all the way. > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [hlds] Feature request: > sv_serverdomain> To: [email protected]> Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2007 > 23:22:11 -0800> > Wait, you have a 30/5... and you can't pony up for static > IP's?
