Its not just you Scott. After waiting 5 minutes, I got this as well

MikeK · 2012-05-08, 03:59 PM

It must just be your side of the building

Nick Koan · 2012-05-08, 04:00 PM

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.

sperry · 2012-05-11, 01:07 PM

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.

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.

ScottyS · 2012-06-05, 04:38 PM

and....hey look, it's after 5pm!

ScottyS · 2013-09-16, 02:54 PM

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

cody · 2013-09-16, 03:22 PM

Weak ping.

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

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

Nice pipe.

ScottyS · 2014-04-28, 10:49 AM

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

cody · 2014-04-28, 10:51 AM

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.

Nick Koan · 2014-04-28, 12:39 PM

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

cody · 2014-04-28, 01:02 PM

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.....
