things will be good again on the SETI project homefront

Eric Korpela did post something on alt.sci.seti (either Mon. or yesterday) alluding to that...

I just hope that they will communicate this to the masses a little better. From what I've seen on Ars, things are getting a bit antsy over there regarding their feelings about the stats situation.

Hi Poof and everyone,

Here is the details of the extremely good news for the SETI project that should put to rest the bandwidth bottleneck for good.

From Dr David Anderson - Director of SETI@Home;

You're welcome to tell people about our 100 Mbps pipe.
We had a lengthy meeting this morning with the Campus Network Services
office, and it looks like it's all going to work, though it turns out
that want to charge us another $1K/month for using the link from
Berkeley to Palo Alto, where we connect to Cogent.
But that's still a lot less than $6K/month for 20Mbps on Qwest.

-- David

Cogent.com has a Fiber Optic ring through many of the major cities around the U.S.
