I also live near maverick. Jamaica Ave to be exact.

now I’m really under the impression that I’m being ripped off.

are you on Personal or Business premium?

because my max upload 47

I’ve got the expensive internet, the one with 3 built-in ip addresses.
Does having a cheap 54mbps wireless router nullify the benefits of the expensive internet service??

system · January 5, 2008, 8:57pm

no and yes…

I would not want to down load movies or big files that way as I do believe you will bottleneck at the router…

You would want to use a CAT 5 cable directly to router

You guys better nag them for a 10MB or better with a VERY REASONABLE rate.

system · January 7, 2008, 10:49am

Haha, 10 MB? In Rupert?

we’ve been on 2-5 MB for the past few decades haven’t we?
hahahaha 10 MB don’t make me pee my pants of laughter.

Richmond, BC (Wireless access to Shaw Cable). For some reason it thinks I’m in Portland, Maine though, hence the thousands of miles.

I should take my laptop to BCIT to compare against Our Glorious Leader’s speeds.

I think this should be acceptable for a link thru a homemade Linux router, eh?

Yep.

Hmmm… 4444? If this is a slot machine it would’ve been $$$$!

Wait a minute… I wouldn’t upload my $$$$.
