OT: If you need more internet speed.
This isn't a sales pitch or anything, but if you live in a Verizon FiOS area we rolled out two new internet speeds today.
1. 30meg download with 15meg upload. 30/15
2. 15meg download with 15meg upload. 15/15
If you are running your own server this means A LOT greater upload speeds off your server or if you are just a geek you can crank up your speed!  |

Re: OT: If you need more internet speed.
I knew there was a reason I loved Verizon.
...as if my 3mbit DSL wasn't fast enough already. :V

Re: OT: If you need more internet speed.
Is it really worth it? I have 1-4Mbps on download, 512-1024Kbps on upload ( http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/) and I find internet fast enough. Of course I don't do "HD" video streaming, or very intensive peer-to-peer... |

I was thinking of all those who run servers out of their home as we seem to have a high ratio of geeks in the SE forums! lol |
