I would also like to note that the legit download seems to be very very slow. Possibly overloaded or qos.

I did email them, and they replied fairly quickly awknologing some points I made and stated they are "working through this right now."

They also offered another download key if I had needed it.
I am waiting to see that if download completes before I request another download key. It keeps getting slower and slower.

So +1 for them on service response.

They lie in their advertising.

DRM Free
It's yours to enjoy - download or stream with no restrictions.

That is a lie.

Once you pay, it gives you 3 downloads.
That is a pretty big restriction.

Plus their download counter does not look for if download is even started or done. It is click based.
So clicking it, getting a what to do prompt, clicking cancel counts as a DL.

What kind of BS is this.

Lifetime could mean many things.

It could be lifetime of the service,
Lifetime of the company,
Lifetime of the consumer,
Lifetime of the developer,
Lifetime of their beta fish,
Lifetime of the server,
etc...

This is old news, also DDWRT is a closed source solution that for some routers you have to pay for features.  Openwrt has much more for the price and if something is wrong you can fix the bug yourself.

So yeah, just add XEN and it is another hypervisor with Windows or whatever being the DOM0.

I agree with everyone who posted Netgear WNDR3700.

I went through so many routers, but the Netgear WNDR3700 was the only one that could keep up with my needs and support my router customization.

Tried different firmwares but found OpenWRT Backfire with LuCI provided to be the best.

Truly the best router/firmware you can have in the consumer range.

Setup your own DSL network using existing RJ11/Phone cabling.

You will place dsl modems in each area you want access points.

You can even have all rooms or some premium rooms with hidden away dsl modems and a network cable coming out.

You just need to setup a dslam after the modem and configure routing.

You would want a login interface so users have to accept terms and conditions.

Using the dsl method, you can setup access points at whatever strength seems secure enough wherever there is a phone connection or wiring, and you can splice the wiring if necessary.  You will need to place cheap filters on every normal phone connection, but that is a minimal cost.

You can also look at ethernet over power line, but there are lots of variables and speed issues that makes this not ideal.

Most of the providers who hit their advertised speeds implement a burst-based traffic shaping.

For example, Comcast does full or over-full speed for first 10mb down and 5mb up.

It's nice that speedtest sites like speedtest.net show a graph of how speed changes, but their test sizes are still far to small and should exclude any detected burst speeds.

The only good way to test this is to actually transfer files and exclude the bursts.

Another thing that SHOULD be tested is the speed difference with single threaded transfers and segmented/multi-threaded transfers for both same continent and cross-seas.

Internet speed is relative and that is part of the problem.

Where there is a hotspot there is a starbucks.

The rates are exceptionally well.

I hope you recognized star....

This is the opinion using the extreme outliers but...

But in it's defense, I got an IT degree (actually I got 3 degrees, but that is a different story) and I can honestly say the only thing I learned that is real-world relevant is the jargon/naming conventions for stuff I already knew.

So basically I learned how to properly name and refer to things in a way that management would NOT understand.

I am all open to knowledge, however the academic systems are unable to keep up with their current models.

A 12 year old reading up on the internet and letting their natural curiosity set them on their journey for knowledge while having someone to chat with who is more progressed in their journey will learn more and actually understand it, instead of being a memorization or boxed in college student.

All a degree is a piece of paper that say you have some background in this field and you are capable of learning to meet the minimal expectations of your professors.

Please note, I was not a slacker in college, I got 3 degrees in 5 years time and had an overall GPA of 3.8.

The doctor needs to go take back K-9 from Sarah Jones....
She has had him long enough, and likely he can just take her from the timeline after she is dead and K-9 is all alone. K-9 is best companion ever, although I do enjoy the eye candy companions also.

Ah the joys of being sucked out while 30,000ft.

I just love waiting for that rapid depressurization, it is such an  euphoric feeling, it also means your on your way to the mile high club.

Oh Wait... they were not talking about oral sex...  that sucks.
