our cable internet provider did a major upgrade last night

[zanejohnson]

but HOLY CRAP did it make a difference, supposedly this upgrade was to triple capacity, and also make the path from them to the internet backbone they use "all fiber."

not only did our connection go from 8mbps/512kbps to 8mbps/4mbps, but ping times have GREATLY improved, i can ping the default gateway our router gets assigned at 5ms, and i can now ping google at 35ms, it used to be 90-105ms on average, they've cut it in half.... im most excited by the new upstream bandwidth but, if i was a gamer the ping times would be really cool im sure....

Holy crap, I'd love an upload boost like that!

Maybe they just forced your cable modem to reboot?

You should challenge the DSL across the street to a race, just make sure you do it somewhere safe.

You probably just dropped some crack on your modem.

Did they switch out your cable modem with a turbocharged dual CPU booster?

Is it fast enough to beat a C4 Corvette? Which of your 3 houses did your cable provider upgrade?

Are you sure you got it legally?

The shitty looking one in the gated community in the woods. You know, the gate that keeps the cattle in.

Sounds great, but do they throttle P2P traffic?

How do you have internet there when you are living in Jed Clampetts old house before he packed up and left for Beverly Hills?

Wow that's a lot of work to do overnight.

Did you lose a tooth by chance? Perhaps the tooth ferries are placing black cats under pillows now. :laugh:

But can it outrun your Honda?

So what were and what are your speeds?
