Considering the fact that this is merely a test, myself opting to do a test Ustream.tv broadcast over the my Comcast connection leaves me wondering where Comcast will decide to draw the line. See, I used to create a number of creative how-to YouTube videos designed to help Linux newbies overcome the hurdles that some […]

Despite DSL often times being an option for potential customers at rates in the low $20-something range, it seems that even to this day, cost is a hurdle that is preventing many people from dropping dial-up. This may seem a bit extreme, but I have seen indications of this myself on a number of occasions.

As luck would have it, I am moving to an area come the beginning of August where FiOS will be available. This means that I will be able to put the Comcast nightmare behind me. Now I have read all the reviews and while the service is not going to blacklist, restrict, monitor, or just […]

I am really finding myself failing to understand how this really is all that exciting. Considering the fact that this ISP has already made it clear that they feel compelled to throttle everything their users do, at the end of the day, it is truly a matter of up to 50Mbps rather than actually using […]

I have a small business client located in the North Shore, an area immediately north of Chicago. They’ve been connected to the Internet via a DSL connection from MegaPath DSL. Every time I’ve been at their office and have done any serious downloading, I was amazed at how slow their connection was. I have them […]
