Hi Nathan, > Anyways, didn't mean to hijack the OP! Interested to see if Comcast is > actually handing him a /29, or just 5 IPs out of a bigger subnet, and if > they'll route that /29 to him. I am a little confused at how I would know if they are handing me a /29 or just 5 IP's?
range: 75.xx.xx.25 - .29 subnet: 255.255.255.248 (which is /29, IIRC) GW: 75.xx.xx.30 I have trouble ticket in as well as an e-mail to my sales rep who works directly for their head of Operations, so I am hoping brining in the big brass will help me get this going today. On the other hand, I explored Sonic.net and they are willing to run a 3/3Mbps symmetrical ethernet service with free setup and a free Cisco 2600, 16 IP's and they said yes to a routed subnet /30 no problem, no additional charge. But I am confused. Can anyone explain to me which is really a better deal? Comcast 50 x 10 for $169/mo or Snnic.net 3/3mbps $274/mo I get that Comcast is faster, but it is shared traffic, right? Where this 3/3mbps would be all dedicated to me? I still dont understand a real world speed comparison though. Can anyone explain a bit about measuring traffic? We are an NPO, we create datasets and allow users to crawl the web for topics of interest and we work that data for them. We are going live here soon. If anyone wants more details about what we do and how we are going to do it and the hardware we are thinking about, ask. I'd love to chat. -Jason _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
