Nice. I get 6mbps down/768k up. I would like more upload. That's why I'm looking at TimeWarnerCable as a secondary circuit. Realistically speaking, I get 14MB down and 1.8MB > during peak hours. Sure. I haven't looked at my pfsense graphs for a while, but I get about 5mbps sustained. I need to setup a public smokeping graph and track it all the time. Maybe expose some of my other graphs from opsview/pfsense etc to the net. Believe it or not, my service has never been down - or at > least I have never noticed. Mine has gone down once. It was at 3am on a Saturday morning. Normally I don't stay up that late (or if I do I'm not using the computer/not at home). I rebooted my dsl modem and everything was fine. I run the modem in bridge mode, so that was my last resort. I cycled the interface on my cisco 1841 etc. I run syncing processes with my > Amazon-cloud-hosted servers every hour through cron on my Ubuntu home > server. To s3? I've noticed the performance on my DSL connection to be a little slow on upload to s3. Maybe your ISP has a better peering arrangement with them? It almost certainly has lower latency, being geographically closer. I've never had a need to do anything remotely close to having to > flashing my router with VMs running Windows 3.1.

It sounds like you have that covered with utilizing Amazon. That's what I am doing. Adding off site backup via Amazon/Rackspace/MediaTemple (yes I'm overbuilding my disaster recovery. It's for demonstration to clients). I currently have 48u worth of gear. I really don't want to pay for a full rack in a data center. - -- Charles N Wyble (char...@knownelement.com) Systems craftsman for the stars http://www.knownelement.com Mobile: 626 539 4344 Office: 310 929 8793 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNJLNWAAoJEMvvG/TyLEAtfVIQAL2UbNX5YX0kLgTVMzn6Zb5w Rn+MkOJT0iWcXcBKgUEY6KcKeuEbZ2Z4TfUSxgLOikhLkPuztwh8313c8ic3ergN +vtFkhxxZ7A81POFksGDV3pw6G1VTkvYexNH59M1oJCRqhtMfBicNbJ5nldMXHr3 9V8vc84mOGvYEgCuyZnmDS2Snp1i9LChfxDixjTxaefzUV8xLjNcu6JWymyTvFcQ T2l0ViCtyIxfQCsbU10MNZLycVRtxI/86gl9LqcNRHaQfVd9X/2FTqo2GUMwSLGf gCUGCBFPUSTJKD5IUaem0REMkIAxf3CU63z5lWdmJ04G5r83IHIbs2vztdIBprcJ Sm5D5WCeT4ar7pJFZKNcs7yC4kxMplzsjcvt0l3V33wfsWe8WqELMT5kKdt8Yvii soP6/vUVNb0nYIzdCxxtw7B8cX8b0tO/wLINY+VBmZeSI8L1grndxMMPce7zveSg 29H5UDdwDwSvXjvzQdpUitcpvSNW5rk5SVvRfKoxULPrK8AltbkDSHbJaeYIglQF bASStFA1Mv49uzM+rwgKNKQWYEZc5i1ivVAQ1R/aYq5x/NP7RQKE/1aIdujuhgwK HlZb6YfkTgJN/VddCEgBqcj/AemwDGKnRrbRv8gz4Lw4yzQ/ca4xyI0shTP5SvLU /5hCNw77vbNERlsPuuzk =qwvE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
