It must just be your side of the building :)

Its back to normal for us now.

Scott sent me this a little while ago

It got better around 4:30.

Awesome... it's doing it again.

I can't get shit done when what I'm doing requires downloading updates and stuff off the internet. :mad:

Well... isn't that interesting.

I just downloaded Firefox from my browser that's behind IGT's web proxy, and from a linux box I've got in a lab that's not behind the proxy. The browser got like 200k throughput, tops. The linux box got around 3MB/sec. :unamused:

Looks like that proxy that already makes my life miserable by blocking 80% of the shit I need to do is now also killing our throughput as well. Fucking awesome.

An undersized proxy can kill a network connection as much or worse than an undersized firewall and usually IT staff and/or management doesn't care. :(

Still pretty symmetrical, must be extended government lunch hour.

Alright, finally hardware-limited (probably a 100Mbps switch in the building).

Weak ping. :P

Hey, there's a lot of crap between my desk and the fiber.....

More than before? Your previous posts showed crazy fast pings.

Well my charter 30mb is almost completely useless every day after 5pm.

PS - it's a Windows VM, and it's on a Monday morning.....

Nice pipe.

Yeah, my desktop is still 10/100 limited in the local network. Bleh.

Lame. My phone gets 50 up, 50 down nowadays. My house gets 10 up, 50 down. Neato.

1. Tether
2. ???
3. Profit
4. Un-tether when you reach your data limit

My $60/mo Verizon plan is limited to 2GB of data, which I use at least half of every month just by using my Galaxy S4. Once I hit 2.000001 GB, I get hit with a $10 surcharge (each additional GB is $10) which isn't bad.

I do tether but only judiciously. I just ordered a Chromebook which may have me tethering more often...possibly.

But my neighbor and I use a enough data that the always-on connection is worth the bill we split.

FWIW, I've been hearing that Charter is upgrading the lowest tier in Reno to 60mb down. Its rolling out in a phased manner.

Nice! 50 is the max in my area through the cable company.

We are in the wrong part of town for 50Mb on 4G, even on Big Red.

Seriously though, if I didn't have a family at home, I would not have cable + mobile internet.

Personally, I tether quite a bit. I should be charging the U for my ingenuity and acquisition of technology to do my job.....:|
