I had a similar situation, with Time Warner Cable in this case.

I had subscribed to the 20Mbps tier, the fastest available at my location, but could never get more than 3Mbps. Tech support was never any help, so I changed to the 10Mbps tier, and kept receiving 3Mbps. The next tier down was 1.5Mbps, but I ran out of patience and cancelled instead of switching to that level to see if it would also deliver 3Mbps.

I'm sure if I were able to sign up for a gigabit connection from Time Warner, it would also run at 3Mbps.

I really enjoyed Daemon and FreedomTM by Daniel Suarez. They're kind of a present-day sci-fi thriller, in case you haven't heard of them. William Gibson's three trilogies are good too. The Sprawl trilogy is especially fun, now that you can see all the things it has influenced since it was first published.

Journal Journal: Plausible Deniability via Open WAP 1

Now that the RIAA, MPAA, and who knows how many government agencies are sniffing internet traffic in order to find subvers^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hpirates, it would be nice to have an ironclad method of achieving plausible deniability.

Viacom Turns to Joost, Spurns YouTube 139

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday February 20, 2007 @11:55AM from the google-has-lost-please-turn-to-page-57 dept.

Vincenzo writes "Viacom has signed a deal with Joost that will see content from MTVI, Comedy Central, and CBS distributed on the new P2P distribution service. The move comes just two weeks after demanding YouTube pull over 100,000 videos offline. 'Joost's promise to protect their copyrights was a major factor in Viacom's decision, and also a stumbling block in their discussions with YouTube/Google. At the moment is it quite easy to download and store video content from YouTube, but no such exploit for Joost is known to exist.' It's also a 'secure' distribution medium in the eyes of many in the entertainment industry, since users can't upload content themselves.'"
