>From what I have seen regarding RR elsewhere (there are numerous RR sites
related to users experiences in California and elsewhere) the service is
damn fast but does come with a few problems, namely web proxying, smtp
routing issues (a rr site in ny is really anal about people running mail
services on rr client machines), and the stupid login monitor that
maintains your connection. Most of the more annoying problems have
already been solved by linuxers in the communities that have rr already.
I would like to see some bandwidth monitoring/testing of the rr
connection; if anybody knows someone with the service running, I would be
willing to help them do some performance testing with netperf to establish
some baselines.
I would also like to know who time warner is connected to; I have a
feeling it won't be to AMAP.
The materials I have seen on cable modem claim a 27Mbit downlink. The
cable modem rep I talked to at Time Warner said that the box they are
selling comes with a 10mbit port, which is definitely lame since that puts
the bottleneck in your house. I think motorola designed the cable modem
boxes, but I am not sure; it would be nice to find out if there will be a
100mbit box available, or if they 27mbit downlink speed is some
theoretical number they made up or actually based in reality.
Despite the many unknowns, I think it may be worth the crap shoot since it
is only $45 a month for the service, and it doesn't require that you
subscribe to cable.
Ya'll might want to check out this page, it has some relevant links; I
don't remember if this link was already posted or not, but it seems like
there has been lots of traffic regarding rr lately.
