[olug] Gigabit Internet

Mon May 6 01:40:50 UTC 2013

Looks like it is a nogo for the 150meg, I have 50meg (what they call
"ultra" on the business side.) the support rep sounded like I was nuts when
I asked about it. He said they will NEVER upgrade the speed without an
upcharge.

I guess the only reasons I switched to business is static IPs and no
limits. newsgroups would chew up their usage caps and spit them out in no
time. I use almost a TB a month :P Anyone out on business get the upgrade?

I speedboost now to damn near 90/7meg on a good mkv. err I mean work
related task.
