I just had to get out from Windstream’s high latency connection over to Time Warner’s. The latter is not tied down to the distance to the CO. At first the connection went south, but after a line replacement from the house to the pole everything is going well. Latency to Garithos (Los Angeles) is between 100 and 200 and not 500-1000ms.
Time Warner does not run their own newsserver, so I’ll have to get one if I want. It has been nice to both play wow, both watch a movie and have Netflix running on the Wii at the same time. Also got their really too big digital cable box. Nice having favorite programs in HD. Need to explore the tv listings more for programs I want to see.
