[vox] Fwd: Internet Services In Davis

[Jacob Taylor]

He raises a good point about the capping of filesharing type stuff. Though I
only have ~40k up, I run a home webserver (on top of linux iso
distribution), and messing with the torrents would be annoying, say nothing
of actually haveing enough bandwidth for the server :P

Last I saw the official att rate for residential 3.0ish line was 30-35, may
be higher/lower now.

I am considering moving to sonic if at&t tries to test their network
filtering(such as comcast did( the bittorrent rst packet snafu with
sandvine)). Their PR guy said earlier this year in a speach that they were
going to do internal mini tests of the filtering, to see if any of it was
feasable at a whole-network scale. If they decide it is, I'll be finding a
new ISP :D
