Wow another new yorker!...   I'm in finance, with RCN (the cable people) and
I've got some 20 down, 2 up for under $100 USD a month... Although I think
they do other packages with static ip's etc etc....
Anyone up for a NYC 'meet'?

Hello!
I live in a typical NYC apartment where the power costs (including
fuel gas for cooking) are bundled into the rent so they never tell me
the rates.


That's a great arrangement - what are the broadband options like - how
much
can you get up/down?

Hello!
Typically 1.5M one way and 768K the other. AT&T keeps mucking up the
figures so I can't get a straight answer out of them.

I ended up sticking with AT&T (Who was my dialup service provider)
when those clowns at Verizon couldn't give me a straight answer at
all. This is before FIOS of course......

My one problem is that technically it's a consumer grade connection as
opposed to a business one so I can't do very much with it. I did at
one point investigate the AT&T business offerings but I never got an
accurate response from that office.

And even though I have TWCNY for cable TV, they've stopped offering me
their version of broadband access for some reason.....


Hello!
Well it happens I am always interested in an NYC meet. What did you
have in mind? I typically hang out at the NYLUG meetings, a NYLUG
meeting is do RSN, and then one for Open Solaris, that one is going to
be some what later.
