#34 | See, I'm trying to download Ubuntu Server PPC now and all the servers around here hit 40 KB/sec or so!
Making me mad! I found one that did the full speed but once a minute it would bounce to 20 and slowly work its way back up again!
I've got one doing 91 that's semi-stable. (bounces between 80 and that)
Why can't anyone have a decent server? 
Tried a torrent, failed miserably!
See what you mean though with "a lot of computers to feed"
at the moment I have four. It's not bad, but any download kills it out! Plus, when someone browses anywhere here my download skips to 50 or worse until they get to their page!
Good thing no one's using it. But hey, I've got all night to run it anyways.
493 MB, gonna take me roughly an hour (so long as the server stays going decent) That'd take you, what, 5 minutes John?
Of course I'm using a Portland, ME one. What can you expect from that place?

#35 | Let's see...
Eight computers, a TiVo, a Mediagate MG-35 media server, a couple of IP connected cameras, two NAS hard drives, two NDAS hard drives.
Of course, only three of the computers are actually being used right now, but there are days...  |  | Distinguished Member with 4,606 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Ontario, Canada Experience: Getting it |

Compared to the average of 554 tests from cgocable.net:
* download is 38% better
It is almost 5pm here, Ontario. I have 10 but I think they go to 30 mb. I pay 47.95/mo includes security suite, 24 hr support, I have no complaints. I highly recommend Cogeco. For $25 more a month, Bell can cut my speed in half, charge me for long distance, and remove some of my movie channels and such. |  | Distinguished Member with 14,194 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2001 Location: Behind my wall Experience: WTH??? |

I get digital cable, I get high speed internet, and I get unlimited long distance, caller ID, voice mail, 3 way calling you name it all for less than $81 a month. I am not going anywhere,
Of course this is a prime time shot. I do not know what she would do at 6:00 AM???

#38 | JohnWill,
How far Southeast PA are you? I'm in Central Jersey, and Fios isn't an option in my area yet. If your in Philly, I can understand, but if you're in the 'burbs, then Verizon needs to get their act together, and get me some of that Fios!
