And Done!
Argh. I ended up closing the browser in the course of trying to run speed tests and lost the post I started writing.
It’s done. As of an hours or so ago. It was really pretty simple, even though we were a “pain in the ass” install, as 2nd and 3rd floor apartment addresses generally are. Once the wiring was done, nothing to it. And the new router, which replaces the combination of the DSL modem and linksys router, has wireless built in if we ever want it. We weren’t offline for more than about an hour for the switch.
We can tell the difference. In the first speed test I did, I got 4.8 download, but there was no upload test. Once I found one, I got 1.2 upload. This will make uploading pictures in bulk, for the family to download, a lot faster. In fact, I haven’t done that lately in part because I figured I might as well wait.
Sweet!
I can’t wait for it to be availible in this area.Posted by Wayne on 05/26 at 03:46 PMsounds faster than cable on the upload, and its
cheaper than dsl?
its bundled with your phone service?
can ala carte tv be far behind?Posted by on 05/26 at 06:39 PMThat’s just the beginning. I believe that at some time the service will be bumped up to 15Mbs down/2Mbps up if market forces make it desriable for them to do so.
