...our new house! Closed on 12/30/15, just got cable installed. I was using Verizon DSL, which utterly sucked. I just test the Mid-Hudson cable connection, 26Mbps down, 3Mbps up. Now, that's not great compared to what you city folks and fiber folks get, but it's more than 10 times faster than what I was getting with Verizon out here in the boonies. (The new house is also in the boonies, about 1/2 mile from where we currently live.) Funny thing is, I was about to rework a website that I put together for a client that relies heavily on jqWidgets controls, because the pages load so slowly. Ironically, browsing the website here at the new home, it's incredibly fast. Good grief, I had no idea. So I'm pleased that that issue can be deferred, but deferred none-the-less because jqWidgets is really bloated, so I'd like to replace it with something more lightweight at some point. Marc

I'm about 8 or 10 miles from the nearest fibre-to-your-house town, but I am in a fibre-to-the-cabinet area - which means the half mile or so is copper. And I get 40Mbps down, 8 Mpbs up (instead of the 5 down, 1 up I got on "full copper"). If your site is moving significantly faster than it was on 2.5 down, then it needs serious fixing - because you can't control what your clients visitors are using, and it could be costing them money. (This is one of the reasons I don't develop on state-of-the-art machines - if it works on mine, it'll be better in the "real world" where they do have SotA kit! :laugh: )

Gz on your new house!

Ah, well the problem is the original client that consumes it; a "webbrowser" - replace that and you need not worry about jqWidgets :laugh:

Congratulations on the new house. Only copper here. :( Only one wired provider and only live a few miles from a major city but off the main roads.

Sound like the cable was the biggest improvement. :) Tell us about the rest. And congrats.

Congratulations, :rolleyes: was as close to a jealous icon I could find. I'd love to live in the boonies again, even for a few months.
