[olug] DSL/CO distance in bellevue

[Hurley Rod]

Don't overlook the obvious: physical terminations and splitters.  Data
needs a lot better signal quality than TV does.  If you have TV's going
in every room chances are you aren't helping your data signal.  I have
replaced old splitters at the demarc box and/or inside homes and
improved the throughput as much as 20%.  Those boxes get moisture,
humidity, etc and sometimes do better with new fittings.  Also, some
cheapie splitters are "you get what you pay for."  They work ok with TV
splits, but not as well with data.

Just a thought since you are asking.

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  :)
