I have to say, I’m pretty impressed. I just upgraded my Comcast internet service from the 8 Meg service to the 16Meg and went from 16033 kbps (2004.1 KB/sec transfer rate) to 21448 kbps (2681 KB/sec transfer rate). Both tests were run against Chicago. Not too shabby!

Google, eBay and others, We’ll build our own network
With the recent talk of the government allowing the telcos and cable operators the ability to charge individual site operators for adequate bandwidth to their sties, which is, Total extortion. If Google could provide me with great bandwidth, I’d say bye bye to Comcast faster than you can say Broadband.via Networking Pipeline

Its good to hear that Google, eBay and Amazon (to name a few) are up to the challenge. If Google could provide me with great bandwidth, I’d say bye bye to Comcast faster than you can say Broadband.
Port Scan + Comcast Business Server = No No
So this past weekend, I had just finished up doing some work at a client, mostly remotely via Remote Desktop, and I wanted to check to make sure there weren’t any unnecessary ports open to the internet.
So this past weekend, I had just finished up doing some work at a client, mostly remotely via Remote Desktop, and I wanted to check to make sure there weren’t any unnecessary ports open to the internet. So I ran a port scan, saw that only the ports I wanted to be opened were open, and then went to connect back to the server. To my surprise, I couldn’t connect! So I tried another port scan, request timed out. Same results with ping. It wasn’t until I left the IP alone for about 20 minutes that I could connect again. Looks like a cool feature. I tested it on a few Comcast home internet users, but I was able to continue to ping, port scan, and connect. Looks like its a business only feature. Cool eh?
