And dreampark2 is up!

After several months of waiting, we're finally up on the screaming fast fiber to the home USI service!  According to the Qwest online bandwidth meter, we've got 27MBPS download and an amazing 30.3MB upload. The PS3 that serves as the hub of our home entertainment system reports about 15MB/sec.  So there's a 50% drop in bandwidth in the wireless trip from my router to the attic. This is about what I saw with Qwest, so no surprise.  I quickly connected to Netflix and started up a show. It loaded like lightning and looked great. Better than before?  I really couldn't say.

Now I have to call Qwest and drop their service. I certainly hope I didn't sign some kind of contract when I negotiated my current ISP arrangement.
