This is the only NG that I've looked at in years and I can't see spending a lot of time reducing picture sizes in order to get them on here. I'll just throw them up on a picture page and post a link like I've been doing. >try reducing the pic to under 50KB... some news-services allow for small >attachments even in non-binary groups.

So far, the only thing I've seen is rising property taxes. >Cool, I guess there are some benefits to having suburbia overwhelm the >neighborhood.<G> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> Lee DeLaBarre >> Daytona62 Lee DeLaBarre Daytona62 How the hell did you get that? That's fast enough to stream movies over the internet. I'm sitting here battling my DSL provider... at best 1.8MB up and 300k down. But I'm paying for 3MB down.

The brother-in-law has been using it and the mother in law just got hooked up a month ago. I figured it was time to bite the bullet and do it too. The jury is still out as to how much better it really is than the cable but I am sure I'll keep it and dump the cable in a few weeks. The thing I am really waiting for is the FIOS TV to replace my cable here as well. They are talking basic TV (comparable to cable's basic service), internet and telephone (also fully FIOS digital as of today) that includes unlimited local and long distance in the US and Canada for under $100/month. >How the hell did you get that?

[quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> Lee DeLaBarre >> Daytona62 Lee DeLaBarre Daytona62 My connection just gets better and better... three weeks now and my speedtest connections are less than 300kbs download and 200kbs up. All I can say is I better not be expected to pay a full months bill this month. Lee > Fort Wayne just had all the fiber cables laid about a year ago.

Hers is still hooked up to the comcast cable modem (I have not set up here e-mail boxes and such yet). Mine clocked in at 15.585 MPS down and 1.867 MPS up... it is supposed to be 15 and 2 so I am not too upset about it. For sh.ts and giggles, I went in and checked Debbie's machine and it ABSOLUTELY kicked the fiber optic's a.s on download at 17.276 MPS down but was considerably slower at 737 KPS on the upside. I find that odd as my cable is SUPPOSED to be about 3 MPS on the download side. I was so shocked, I ran the test 5 times on hers and these numbers are the SLOWEST for download. >Just checked my Comcast cable 7.1 meg download tonight.

[quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >>> Lee DeLaBarre >>> Daytona62 Lee DeLaBarre Daytona62 Here's the reason: "In an effort to fend off competition from Verizon's FiOS service, which offers download speeds of up to 15Mbit per second, Comcast has doubled the speed of its top-tier broadband service to 16Mbit. The change is currently being rolled out in a few markets, including Reston, Va.; Sarasota, Fla.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; and Howard County, Md." > I ran the test on my machine and also Debbie's.
