My Speakeasy circuit is ready, after a minor snafu — there was something that needed to updated on their end and the tech did that today (some database update) — and I plan to cut over Real Soon Now.
At the tech’s suggestion, I checked the link speed: seems odd that my upload speed is higher than my download speed . . . .
And of course look at Comcast cable: it’s a bit disconcerting to see the difference in speed. Of course, I don’t know that I ever see that kind of throughput. A Java applet shoving packets around is only a rough approximation of a real user’s activities. It’s the reliability that has driven me away from Comcast.
