However we work for an RSP so we can do a whole lot more with the connection on fibre.
Cable tops out at 100/20 or 200/20, whereas we can do 100/100 on fibre with more coming. Can also get a high-priority channel of 2.5 or 5 Mbit on fibre. Cable also doesn't allow us all the cool tricks of multiple dialers. And the biggest downside, Cable doesn't offer IPv6, whereas our UFB offering is native IPv6 with whatever sized prefix you want. Personally I have a /60 and a /64 for myself at home, but we're happy to issue a static prefix of /56, or even a /48 if you sound convincing. I've had a few enquiries but most have been people in the same situation, where fibre won't be available for years. -- CF _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
