Well that is for WA, the western 1/3rd of Australia. I hear the Nullabor has been closed to traffic the last week (basically the one road linking WA to the rest of Australia). To give a sense of scale to you Americans, imagine that not only is California on fire, but also Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska, as well as New York State, Pensylvania and North Carolina. It is truly unprecendented in Australian history, and larger by a significant multiple than last year's Siberian bushfires. I am optimisitic that this might be a sufficient jolt to cause us (as in humanity) to take action - to jump out of the pot that has been slowing heating up, instead of boiling to death like the luckless frog. -- Dr Russell StandishPhone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders hpco...@hpcoders.com.au http://www.hpcoders.com.au FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com archives back to 2003: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove

Re: [FRIAM] Comcast blows! who else does legit internet in town.
One of the compensations for moving from Santa Fe, NM to here (near Durham, NC) is that gigabit internet is almost universal, at least in the newer neighborhoods. We had a choice of two fiber connections at the corner of our property. What I’ve discovered is that there are not many sites out there that will pump the bits out that fast, so a gigabit connection is only marginally better than, say, 300 megabits. Still it feels good to go to Speedtest.net and see the needle jump up to 800 megabits. — Barry On 9 Jan 2020, at 4:03, Russell Standish wrote: On Wed, Jan 08, 2020 at 07:16:23PM +, Marcus Daniels wrote: Just tested my AT fiber: 937 Mbps upload.Different town than you, probably.

Just tested my AT fiber: 937 Mbps upload.Different town than you, probably. I had Comcast in Santa Fe.

Comcast blows! who else does legit internet in town. After a routine call monday to tech support with comcast turned into a shouting mach just to get my internet back up and reliable. I'm looking again for options. Surely someone does legit networking close to 1g gig each way that doesn't blow to work with as comcast does. It feels like they aren't happy till I'm infurated with getting stonewalled by some dude on the phone. As I hate that kind of relationship to a company.
