I might be done with AT&T - I'm paying for 12mbs and last night did a speed test at barely 3...
It's been acting goofy for awhile.

I am paying 140, that includes doxis 3.0, 5 static IP's, and 150mb down and 50mb up... lets see AT&T touch that kind of numbers! (and NO they can't, even with a T1, im touching T3 levels with my setup)
OH, BOUncer: Bullcrap sorry man, I work in the industry and the facts are...
1)the "top 20%" are NOT affecting all the other users. Sorry, even if you have everyone in that top percent maxing out their connections, there is plenty for the lower level users left over. (worked for a number of backbone providers for years including AT&T)
2)DSL is on its way out, another 10 years and you wont see one, just like you don't see ISDN now (other than ATM machines that are mandated to have them). Frame realy is the same thing, its old tech, its being phased out slowly. I figure by 2025-2030 we wont see DSL, ISDN, or Frame systems in the world.
3)This is all a way for AT&T and other "providers" to try and make MORE money on the backs of the people they provide "service" to. Some numb nuts up top said "hey lets pretend we have limited backbones and can't provide for top level service and all the little people all at once"
Don't bother arguing on this one dude, 12+ years working NOC departments, I know what goes on behind the sceens for both CSP's and BSP's.

**** yah Comcast business class.
that's what i have at home. my modem broke on a Friday afternoon before a 3day weekend and they had some dude there to replace it in 4 hours. One of my coworkers has the same deal, Comcast came and replaced her hardware on thanksgiving... love or hate Comcast, they take care of their bus customers.

Go comcast, unless you happen to live in an area that can get microwave high speed. Unfortunaly for me my house is blocked from the MHS system in oakland (stupid hills) or I would have that.

And doxis, do you mean DOCSIS or something I'm not familiar with?

I fried two that I owned and said **** it, but I'm about to go back... apparently the firmware in my current modem (some SMC piece of ****) doesn't allow me to forward port22... and that's a no-go since I use ftp/afp/vnc over SSH and there's no way I'm turning on those services for a computer in my DMZ

the home network before i installed it. also, changed out the old Netgear layer3 switch for an un-managed Cisco one (fanless). ran a ****load of cat5e and cat6 in my walls (6 drops per room) all pulled through into the master closet
and the new toys... Home CCNA Lab Approaching completion... for reference, that's a 27" iMac
Hardware:
1x cisco 2514
3x cisco 2600's (2 with DTE ICs, one with Ethernet IC)
3x cisco 3900 switches
**not pictured above**
2x CentreCom Ethernet transceivers
2x DTE cross overs
1x more cisco routor (hasn't arrived yet)
****loads of console cables and USB Ethernet adapters
edited so i dont destroy everyones frames. click the thumbs
running all this **** is a pain in the *** without being able to make all of the changes in the modem. its ****ing irritating.

when im done im going to bring ti to the office, its good for fundamentals even though half the switches are so old they don't support ios 12.4 (and thus, no ipv6).having a real hands on environment is much more useful (for most people) than just using GNS3 or something.
plus, doing ENT/NA before NP/DP/IP is the standard path folloowed by IE then DE and CCA

^^ Just make damned well sure you enjoy the work before you go too far down the path.. Just because something pays doesn't mean it isn't tedious, thankless, high pressure, and otherwise incredibly boring..
