[olug] DSL/CO distance in bellevue

[Charles Bird]

I noticed an Andrews "drum" on top of the mall as well as a cell site in the parking lot, we scanned the 2.4Ghz range and detected nothing much above the noise floor.

Still looking for a dedicated of perhaps good burstable connection in the near future.

Just got residential Cox 10Mb/1Mb and i think its pretty lame, they should have just called it 6Mb/600Kb, there seems to be no differnce than the midlevel service. Perhaps I have overlooked something like having an older cable modem (3yrs old) or perhaps something else.

Thanks for the ideas ppl  :)
