I have Comcast in Payson. It has strange problems. SSH connections usually stay up, but the HTTP connections just stop working at least once a day until I reboot my router. I used to have Qwest DSL and it would disconnect several times a night. I have to do system software upgrades on 200-250 systems every 4 weeks. This made qwest completely unacceptable and comcast tolerable (thanks to screen). Unfortunately utopia isn't installing in Payson, even though it is one of cities belonging to it. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
