Aloha,
I just set-up a business account with RR and we are getting ~3.7Mb down
~1Mb up. The installer said the system was capped at 4Mb. That costs $199
per month and comes with 5 static IPs and we can have servers.
That's a helluva lot cheaper than it is here. That much here will get
you 512/512 and 2 static IPs I believe.
An OC-12 is 622Mb per sec. An OC-3 is 155Mb/sec. When I was at Level3
Communications they were testing OC-192s working with Cisco to get OC-768.
An OC-1 would be 53Mb, but we start at OC-3. The bandwidth is out there.
You're right, I confused the OC-3 with the OC-12. Need to learn my OC
carrier speeds better. Either way, the bandwidth is tehre, but not cheap.
I have heard rumors about RR and other cable companies shutting down users,
but have not experienced it myself. I did have some friends in San Diego
kicked off @home for running servers. And other friends who lost incomming
port 80 from @home when NIMDA was big. I don't want to gamble with having
my mail server down so I use DSL and a provider who doesn't care. I do
miss the speed I gave up in the switch though.
The only time I've actually seen RR shut someone down was for uncapping
their modem. @home was much more restrictive than RR.
