I think there might be some growing pains too. It just came out and hasn't been advertised in my city yet. Its better than 300/30 though ;) I'm also unsure if I am taxing my router.

118.7/6.0 (both Mbps) - MegaPath Washington, DC test server.

This is Xfinity's second SLOWEST offering currently (only Economy/Essentials is lower); I'm far from pressed, however - it MORE than cuts the ketchup.

@adrynalyne  Freaking SWEET dude.. That is just smoking.. 3ms response and an upload to freaking drool over ;)  Its a networking geeks p0rn to be sure ;) Enjoy!!

 

On a side note - we have a oc48 with CL.. that I have to deal with.  It is worse connection I have ever seen ever... It either down or taking errors..  It is the connection from HELL!!!  Took them over 2 weeks to clear up errors we were seeing on the line just recently... Finally looked clear before I went on pto on friday.. Just went down yesterday.. I was on pto but my phone was still blowing up over it.. Good thing its just a backup link...  But I sure hope you you don't have issues like we have on an oc48 which should be crystal/stable/etc..

Over the years they have swapped out equipment, they have changed cards they have changed paths.. Now some of the issues have been fiber cuts, which not much you can do about that... But when it takes them weeks to track down errors being seen its really bad.. We don't see the errors, escalate, we don't see the errors, escalate it even higher and higher - finally oh yeah we are seeing errors here.. Then the errors go away for a while, etc..

 

While on the other hand the primary line with level 3 has pretty much been error free and up constantly for the same years.. Funny thing is that level 3 and CL are now the same company ;)  The oc48 is sonet which normally are just rock solid.. This has been nothing but hell.. While they have agreed to let us out of the contract without penalty... Getting the customer to agree to change the setup and pay for charges on moving it, etc.  Has been its own nightmare...

 

I would have to recheck the logs - but the previous record without any issues had been 33 days..  It sucks when you get called at 2 am in the morning because there are errors being seen on a backup link ;)  But have had to put the thing into constant monitoring and vigilance because its just so freaking bad..   I sure hope that 2 star rating on isp on your speedtest is not something you have to deal with..  It is a screaming connection it looks like to be sure.. 

 

One thing I have noticed is have a hard time maxing out even my 500mpbs download.. But I have done it - had to do multiple sessions grabbing a 35GB tar file...  But was freaking amazing getting such a large file in a few minutes ;)

We don't have that yet from CenturyLink up here in Queen Creek.  Is that DSL from CenturyLink?  If I had those kinds of speeds I would dump Cox too?  What are you paying for that?

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
