[olug] Gigabit Internet

[Aric Aasgaard]

Justin, I had to have them re-provision my modem.  
I was getting 8 channels down and 4 up and sill only 50 down 20 up until I
had them re-provision it. 

I am uploading so my up results are low on these

You need to bad ass router, and I highly recommend SSD drives.  Without
cache optimization, your spinny drives will be the bottleneck with torrents.
I am using a dual, dual core 2GHz Sossaman Xeon pfSense box with an Intel
Gigabit dual port sever card and a raptor drive and I am at 40% CPU
utilization on it when I max my connection on torrents.

Some co-workers were getting 100-110 down. I have not checked yet.
