"According to Long Range Expert Joe *******i, areas from the northern
Plains into the Northeast will have a “year without a summer.” The jet stream, which is suppressed abnormally south this spring, is also suppressing the number of thunderstorms that can form." Kind of reminds me of what happened back in the mid-70's - I want to say '75/'76 - The Summer That Never Came. Had to turn up the heat in my office this morning. |

Well, it's good you have an outboard with a 25" shaft on that boat with the low 20" transom and jackplate. You'll be able to lift the lower unit out of the water so the ice won't freeze around it. Hmmmm...when "jackplated," does a 25" shaft outboard on a 20" transom equal an outboard with a 20" shaft? -- The modern GOP is little more than an army of moral absolutists led by a gang of moral nihilists. |

Of course, with an "extreme" jackplate, there would be less of the lower unit in the water. Or is it the setback that you get with a jackplate that is important?

Yup, a dirty little secret. Our DSL was ungated by a guy who worked at the router and it smoked the Cox cable locally in Essex, or here at Comcast. Even before it was opened up really but certainly after... It's just bull and selective sampling that gives the cable companines the right to say they are faster...

I remember learning that DSL speed varies greatly by how far you are from a substation or whatever and how many subscribers they had on that substation. I recall the Florida DSL as being adequate for most of what we used it for but slower than the cable we had at the time here in MA. (this was before going wireless with routers, etc., so I don't know what effect they have on speed). However, so far the DLS service that started today here in the little music shop blows Comcast cable away. I am really surprised, because I never thought Comcast was particularly slow before.

I thought DSL was slower than cable, but it's not the case here. This DSL is much faster than the Comcast cable we have in the house.

Hope it stays this way. Eisboch When you speed test the new DSL, what results in kbps do you get? Try a couple of servers at http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ at different times during the day at your house and office. Typically, we get about 25,000 kbps down and 11,000 up. Sometimes substantially faster down, sometimes a little bit slower down. That's with the NY server. The DC server gives much faster results. Best not to try this at high traffic hours...do it either very early in the am or very late at night. Are your results DSL or cable? If DSL, which provider? Just curious? Cable. Had DSL when I had an office over in Virginia. It was ok until a water main burst a few blocks away and "destroyed" some telco cables. Took a week to get phones back, and got an "estimated time unknown" for restoration of DSL from the local central office. After two and a half weeks, I added cable internet to the cable service, and never went back to DSL. In those days, where my office was, the telco only provided the lines to third party DSL companies. It was not offering DSL in my area. That changed. I suspect had the telco been the DSL supplier, the "wet lines" would have been repaired a lot faster. I get at least one mailing a month from the local telco offering me very slow DSL for about $20 a month at the same time it is offering much faster (and much more expensive) FIOS in the more heavily populated areas of the state.

I opted to get 3Mb ($40/month) for my home which is quite fast enough, At least for an old retired guy. |
