Okay, OOL is a new one on me. What's it mean?

Optimum On Line - Cablevision is the provider, and as far as I know it is only available in the NY Metro area.

Ah. See? There IS a benefit of being a stupid, one-track-minded, cannot-multi-task male. Yay for me!

Thanks for takin' care of that, FFMCobalt
If he was in some way getting 3.2MBps, then jesus...


I get 3Mbps down/ 300Kbps up (roughly same speed as you, zayened)

If he were, he'd have optical cable or a T3 or something. In which case I would have to hate him for the rest of my life and turn completely green with envy.

I am getting download speeds of 3.2 MB/s! Upload speeds of 280 KB/s!

OOL is 10Mbit down and 1 Mbit up I hate it when it is this slow though

Let me say this again.

I hate you.

MB per second is very possible...

Pretty fast eh?

Ok, so it's a work connection...

My connection from home while much slower, is still pretty quick. (45 Mbps)

That's because you haven't upgraded to Comcast Pro yet. It's $90/month. You get 3.0Mbps down and 384kbps up. You also get two "static" IPs with a 6-month lease on each IP (3-month half life, obviously). It's nice to have two "static" IPs, but the upstream really isn't enough to do anything with.

Me too.

And is it MegaBYTES or MegaBits? If MegaBits, divide each by 8.

Um... it's broadband. It's supposed to be fast. Oh, and you're not getting 3.2 megabytes per second (MBps). That's 25.6 megabits per second (Mbps) and there's no way in hell you're getting that. The most you can physically get from coaxial cable is 10 megabits per second (Mbps) which translates to 1.25 megabytes per second (MBps).


Atleast... IIRC.

Where did you read that??? I think coax can handle higher speeds than that, from my experience and what I have read.

I got RoadRunner right after its beta testing when there were few people on it. I was able to break 1.25MB/s a lot - my max was 1.7MB/s from MUohio.edu. I thought life would be great, until 75% of my neighborhood got RoadRunner:|

Comcast told me numerous times over the phone that they don't do static IP's. Are you sure there is such a service?
