AT&T starts capping broadband

[MadBurgerMaker]

  Wonder what the deal is with the upload speed.

[Caliga]

Disgusting. 

As well as monstrous.

[LaCroix]

in the past five or so attempts throughout the day my download speed has fluctuated from around 1.0 to 2.8. my upload stays at around .0-.7 for a little while before upload test error. in two of my tries my internet simply died

The cost to provide 1 gb of data is estimated to be 1 to 3¢. The faster the pipe is, the cost becomes cheaper.

So start your own ISP, charge people 4 cents a gp and make beelions and beelions of dollars.

I do not have the millions of dollars requires to buy & build last mile infrastructure. It's funny because neither did Bell. They did it while they were a government company.

I don't remember Ma Bell being a government company when phone lines were installed and I'm almost positive they weren't when high speed fiber optic lines were laid.

Laying the actual pipes is the easy part. Acquiring the right on the lands to do it is where it cost alot.

CAL'S BANDWIDTH USAGE:

April 2011 (Incoming: 52761 MB / Outgoing: 3290 MB)
March 2011 (Incoming: 24666 MB / Outgoing: 1502 MB)

for some reason my March stats only start at March 12th, though... I had reset my router to factory defaults a few months back, but I thought it was earlier than this.  Oh well.

Geez, I run a server from my lab and pull far less than that.

Anyway:



99.99% of the time.  I'm dumping it soon and coloing the server, though.

Eh, where do you get that from?  Work crews spent ahelluvalongtime slicing up the pavement in DC to lay cable.

I'm guessing it's usually a county/city thing.

I get 15mbps down at home & a pitiful 500kbps up.

On my phone, from inside my work building:

Here's what I get at home, probably degraded slightly because I'm on wifi with a laptop:



edit: I'd be perfectly content with my download speed if they'd just increase my upload speed to something respectable.

From PC vs the earlier iphone test.

And posting from home:



Still loads better than I saw in Whitehorse.
