[olug] Gigabit Internet

[Aric]

Justin, IMO the only benefit to having Cox Business vs Residential is that
the Business supposedly has better support and up time.  I have a few
pfSense IPsec VPNs connecting residential accounts to businesses the IPs
almost never change and I use zonedit dynamic DNS.  Unless you have some
super special reason you need a Business account I would use the extra $60
for a Verizon 4G LTE back up connection to mitigate the loss in service
level and enjoy a 3x faster connection with the residential service.

.......meanwhile, back at the ranch.

When Telechoice (TCONL)internet was the best in Omaha 10+ years ago they
gave me an internal 10.n.n.n address
10.40
10.41
10.42
10.43
10.44
10.100
10.200
These were then NAT'd to an external IP (you could get a static NAT'd IP
for $5 a month extra).

Since we were basically on a LAN some co-workers and myself decided to use
it as such.  We could play LAN games, map drives, etc.

.......anyway this makes me want something like this with a gigabit
connection.  I would like to make a virtual private gigabit network.  With
a gigabit connection you could basically stream music and watch movies
right from where it is at.  We could have something like a community
MythTV cluster.

Here is the CenturyLink press release.

"For further information: Stephanie Meisse, +1-419-755-8433,
stephanie.n.meisse at centurylink.com"

I will try to get a hold of Stephanie Meisse again tomorrow to get more
details.

I want to know if it is 1Gb up as well.
