Just purchased a MOTOROLA SB6120 cable modem (now I don't have to pay $5 a month to comcast to "rent" their stupid POS).
I notice a bit of increased speed 2-3mbps up. Down is still pretty much the same, I think my problem is all of the splits going on in the house and the old shitting connection to the house. When I bypassed the splitter for the cable TV/Modem and went straight into the wall there there was a decent speed increase.

F'ing Splits!
As of about two hours ago my mother is no longer stuck with Dial Up. I got her hooked up with satellite from Hughes. $70/mo for 1Mbps/128Kbps (but I saw speeds as high as 1.4 earlier). Not bad but kinda reminds me of IDSL days! It's also latent as all hell. FTP is pretty funny.

I was just thinking about IDSL...
...we were talking about the different types of DSL in class. They mentioned ADSL, and SDSL, but not IDSL. I then started reminiscing about paying a fortune for 384K and then about our ISP going bankrupt. How we didn't know why our internet was down, and then finding out not by the company, but by reading about it on fuckedcompany.com. Good times.

I don't understand why you would do something like this to your mother.enderzero wrote:F'ing Splits!

Because the only other option is $12 a month for 38.4Kbps dial up (yes thirty eight point four, not to be confused with IDSL's screaming three hundred eighty four). Just try living with that for one day. 1 Mbit is amazing in comparison. Just a little latent.
I forgot about the fuckedcompany.com thing. What was the company called? COVAD!

The name escapes me right now. It was actually the company that Zakk worked for, and it had way better IDSL pricing compared to Covad. When our company went under, we switched to Covad, which I believe is still around.

That's how I got my Ambit!
