Speed Bump

April 23, 2008

So, thanks to Etan Horowitz at the OS found out the Roadrunner was gonna take a bit of hike northward speed wise. The Turbo was getting a boost from 10 Mbps to 15 and the upload was going to 2 from the previous 1. I was sucking air around 400 K. 15 Flickr uploads took all night. I was looking at Speakeasy, even got a quote:

Speakeasy OneLink ADSL Price Structure:

Damn that stuff is expensive. Plus to far away from the next node to get the good stuff ($$$). So I was going to wait, contemplating dumping cable and hitting the Netflix hard. ADSL would be dedicated service as about to the group effort that is cable.

But I called. Turns out my account was a hit crusty old and that for just a buck forty one I could go Turbo. Well sign me up. Gonna have to stick to the whole package as Turbo is not available on its own. Anyway… had to wait til I got home but once I reset the modem, bammo, faster pussycat.

Here are the before and after speedtest:
