Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
So is that a business account? I mean, do all business accounts come with equal up and download speeds?
It is a business account, but not all business accounts have it. We had to jump through hoops to get it, too, although a lot of that was probably because the business accounts were pretty new at the time, and most of the customer service reps didn't seem to know what was available for businesses. Once I found someone who understood what I meant when I said that we needed, among other things, a fixed IP addresses so folks could find our servers, he also suggested that we get synchronous. Nobody had even mentioned it to us before then.
Dude. ita's going shopping.
That's awesome. That'll be good to know if we end up with cable instead of Directv at the new house.
eSATA's been available for awhile, though it wasn't well documented.
Well, all the relevant parties have won. I'm pricing out HD stuff and even getting a lower rate on my cable.
Are you getting CableCard service? I'll be interested in hearing how that works out for you.

When I said Cable Card to the Time Warner lady she brightly asked me if it was for a TiVo, so I'm kind of optimistic. It's not like back in the day when you were trying to have your home network share one internet connection and the DSL people wouldn't talk about it.
We didn't have much trouble getting Comcast to set up our cable cards back at the end of 2006. I think it only took two visits from the installer.
One thing we discovered is that the cable cards are quite heat-sensitive. When the Series 3 was in the enclosed part of the entertainment center, sometimes the cards would stop working. Since we moved it to an un-enclosed area, they've been rock-solid.
