[dba-Tech] Windows 8.1

Wow those speeds are quite incredible in comparison to the speeds I now have but unfortunately I just can not justify buying up into the broadband mode. 

My speeds are 24.12 Mbps download and 2.42 Mbps upload. Your rates give approximately a double download speed and about five times the upload speed. My ISP uses those variances to discourage the use of servers at a home site...they want a server user to pay up and those rates would be over $100.00 per month.

My network is all Gigabit so in the unlikely circumstance that my ISP realizes the errors of their way I am fully ready to take advantage.

Yes at home. Standard speed. It's all bundled with TV and phone so I don't
remember exactly what the Internet access alone costs. I think $60 a month.
They get you started with lower rates with the bundle and then after a year
they go back to regular rates.  I had to replace the modem a couple months
back in order to DOUBLE the speed. I rent the modem from them so it was
just a matter of having them send the replacement and then hooking it up.
It's combined with a router now too and a gigabit switch. At first I wasn't
happy about replacing my router with theirs until I found out about the
gigabit switch part then I went along with it.

Sorry Stuart ;-)
