This more what I had in mind

I hope that isn't your dog.

Of course that's one of my dogs. But he is K9 trained. When that picture was taken we were on the training field. A guy had just fired off a couple of 9mm blanks and was running towards me with a pistol. He is a great dog. I take him down to the arena with me. All the kids maul him and ride him like a horse. He just wags his tail and loves it

 

[hittman]

That's a scary pic. Our Internet and wifi are down tonight. The cable company is having issues. I'm starting to regret switching providers a couple months ago.

 

[homeprogreen]

Lol. He won't actually get anybody unless I give the command or they show they are a threat. All my dogs have great temperament. I hate when my cable is down and Internet is 3G only

 

[hittman]

It's back up already. In all the years I had AT&T I never had an outage.

 

[homeprogreen]

I've had a couple when I had AT&T. One time somebody took out their main transmission line. Took out half of Northern California

One thing with the cable Internet is that the downloads seem way faster.

 

[homeprogreen]

Yes it is faster. My dsl had download speeds of 3.5. My cable has sustained downloads of of 30

 

[hittman]

I'm not sure the exact speed but I downloaded a 58mb file in a few seconds the other day.

 

[homeprogreen]

You can go to speedtest.org and run the test. It shows ping, download & upload speed. It's fairly accurate

 

[hittman]

I'll give that a try. I'm curious as to what it is.

 

[homeprogreen]

I normally run it 3 times so I get a good baseline avg. it only takes a minute to run

 

[homeprogreen]

I just checked. I use speedtest.net. Sorry about that

 

[hittman]

I ran the test twice and came out over 33mb each time.

 

[homeprogreen]

That's decent speeds

 

[hittman]

I wish I had tried that before to compare services.

 

[homeprogreen]

Cable speeds are always higher then dsl. The catch is that as more people get on the cable network everybody's speeds slow down. DSL stays fairly steady

 

[hittman]

I never really considered how many people had it. It does make sense though.

 

[homeprogreen]

Yes unless they are willing to invest in amplifiers only so much signal to go around. I was talking to a guy in Florida. He gets 50 downloads until about 6pm then it slows to a little over 2
