10/3/2005 Cable that CranksI'm not sure what Cox Communications has done to their network down here recently, but lately I've been downloading fat binaries from Microsoft at about 450 KBytes/sec, or about 3.6MBits/sec. Thats equal to about two and a half T1 lines. Upload speed isn't as crisp, but still respectable at about 500MBits/sec. All for the low low price of about $35.00 a month. In comparison, my high speed DSL line in San Francisco back in 2001 supplied 1.1MBits/sec. down, and 768MBits/sec. up, for about $350.00 per month. I also remember when I used to run an ISP with a friend of mine in Tallahassee which had a 56KBit/sec line from the local phone company. I think that line used to run about $650.00 per month back in 1995. My how times have changed. Comments
