Comcast just raised my rates. The increase is trivial, but far more annoying is that the service is decreasing. Six months ago speedtest.net reported a high of 3 MB/s. Now it is just over 2 MB/s. The new rate is 55.59/month, which includes 11.49 for basic TV.
When I say "2 MB/s" I mean megabytes per second. That is, assuming the server can feed me as fast as Comcast will let me download it, I can download a full 700 MB Ubuntu live CD in about six minutes. I do not have wired home telephone service; that is, I discontinued the land telephone a couple years ago since I never use anything but my cell. I'm not very popular, so no one ever calls me anyway. Googling around leads me to a confusing bunch of options for DSL. I'd pay more for faster speeds. Are there any options that are faster than the 2 MB/s that Comcast is now giving me? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
