[HECnet] CODA replaced by CHARON

[Steve Davidson]

Sampsa,

You JUST moved!   Looking to move again so soon???

FIOS (in NH) was DSL over fibre up to 20M down.   If you are looking for
bandwidth look where Verizon competes with what used to be Bell South.
Another option might be in Washington State or some other high-tech area
with infrastructure that some big company paid for either directly or
indirectly.

-Steve

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......

That's what I'd heard, that's not great. Any idea when FiOS will be
available? I suppose this gives me some time to line up visas and sell
my flat, always did want to live in NYC...

I have a reasonably ropey DSL here (wires provided by BT, IP service by
Be Unlimited, which is really O2, which is really Telefonica) and I get
14-16 down, 2-2.5 up / line - got so fed up with the "low" speeds I got
two lines and a load balancing router.
