Happiness is a new modem

[ronw]

The bad: cab ride across town and a 1 hour wait to turn in a stupid set top box (as part of cancelling TV service).

The good: Got a new modem that handles the recent network upgrade from 100/5 to 300/20.

So that's cable, like coax?
Because it seems fiber comes with symmetrical speeds.

[ronw]

Yes, plain old coax.

300MiB Your upload speed is faster than my download speed!

That has to be fiber optic. Copper wire coax can't go that fast!

Scoot over, GG...I'm crying right along with you.

very nice!

only can dream about that in australia, its a bit backward when it comes to internet speeds

[GreyGeek]

Ok, ronw, what town are you in? K.C.?

[ronw]

NYC.

I wish I was in one of the Google fiber neighborhoods in KC. Or even better, a city with municipal fiber like Chattanooga.

That I got so excited about 300mbps down, in 2014, in one of the most densely populated cities in the country, is actually a sad state of affairs.

Time Warner Cable. Technically a Roadrunner network bought by TWC, which may soon be bought by Comcast.
