Currently on Spectrum's 300/10 tier. Frontier went down my road laying fiber 1 1/2 months or so ago. Just waiting on them to  light it up , so I can try that.

Docsis 4 is needed for symmetrical speeds. I only know of one provider and that was back in December of last year. I think most other cable providers are still 3.1.

It's always been around 20ish for upload. We have Cable Internet. From Spectrum.

In the future, I want to move to fiber, but I don't really need it.

Are you asking me why the upload so low? I only have 10 Mbps upload and that's what I'm getting and all Spectrum offers on my plan.

The quotes are confusing me on who is replying to who? Imagine that, I'm confused!!

See who he quoted? After each quote he asked a question. Sort of easy to figure out.

I believe he merged his 2 posts. Forum does that if it's within like 5 minutes of each other.

Finally got FTTP (rural location), I don't really need 900Mbps download but had to get that package to get the 110Mbps upload which I do need. I'd have preferred something like 300/300 given the choice but won't complain too much considering I was on 15 down / 4 up before this :laugh:

Apparently they're upgrading to 10gig down/1gig up later this year so will most likely be taking that when it's an option but 6 months after moving to an area with actual decent internet and I still appreciate every moment coming from 60 down/8 up just before that. (for 7 years)

Ping could be better but I'm having to run via wifi being rented so pretty likely down to that.

1.5 Gbps/150 Mbps on my 16-inch 2021 MacBook Pro. Not bad considering it's one floor above my GL.iNet Flint 2 router (Wi-FI 6).

I finally made the switch to fibre back in August and I had to go hardwired. It's symmetrical 2.5 Gbps and I'm happy despite not getting the full download speed. I'll be downgraded to 1.5 Gbps this summer but that won't be too slow for me.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
