Many of you know the issues I've been having with slow internet. Even when things were "working", I was on a DSL line that delivered less than 20mbs.
Starting in July we have had several outages of 2 and 3 weeks due to the long time to get a technician on site. The last one was about 2 weeks and when it came back on it was dragging at a mere 2mbs down and less than .5mbs up.
I decided to check the other options. Having done this in July during the 3 week outage, and finding none available, I was basically hoping against hope that something had changed. Previously not even the cell data providers covered our address/area.
So imagine my absolute surprise and total unbelief at what I was seeing when one of the wireless companies said... "Our service is available at your address". So I went to T-Mobile to get the wireless access point. I brought it home and set it up. I was getting 400mbs on my phone, not one single buffering notice on the TV, and now, the LAN wired computers in my office are get over 900mps.
I'm like a kid in a candy store.
One of my sync publishers requires multiple edits which can be over 1G in size. Previously, I was unable to send them through their preferred upload method due to time outs on the server. At 2mbs DSL upload speeds, needless to say, it took well over an hour just to send one song project. Somehow, I don't think that will be a problem for me now.
Anyway, the problem seems to be resolved now.

That is good news Herb. We depend on the Internet more than we want so when it goes down or it slows down it is a real big PITA. I'm glad you are up an running. Have fun.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

A great outcome, no question. I had hoped that you might find a wireless solution, as a colleague of mine in a remote location got similar blistering speeds by going wireless when ADSL just couldn't cut it performance wise.

We're in a state and area that is growing rapidly and the cell companies are adding capacity and towers. Just 4 months ago they weren't covering my section of the county. Less than 2 miles away we have an 800 unit single family housing community going in and just a stones throw from that is an industrial park under development.
