Anyone else with poo poo-slow internet ever consider just spinning up a VM somewhere and then VNC'ing into that and using it as a remote workstation?

FFStudios posted:I'm supposed to have FiOS Quantum 50/25 but my download speed is fluctuating wildly from 48Mb/s to 1Mb/s and I feel like this has something to do with Verizon's notoriously lovely ActionTec router/modem combos. I can barely download Youtube videos, and that's only if I let them sit for 5-10 minutes. Highly disappointed and I really wish I could swap in my own modem or router for better performance. You can. I have FiOS at home and use a Watchguard firewall as my router. Assuming you don't have TV or phone through them:
You can still do it if you have TV/Phone (I have TV), but the topology is a little more complex, since you need to use the ActionTec as a MoCA bridge. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16626 http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16077 PM me if you need help setting anything up.

My download speed may not be much, but how do you dig my upload?   I just checked the first page and I don't think there's much to be smug about  Maybe I'll need to run speed test on our production servers to get better readings. tohveli fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Nov 6, 2013 |

Bought a new modem and router and my speeds have increased. The old modem and router must have been about 6 years old.  Idk why it decided to ping Oregon this time but hey.

This is about the best I get anymore.  Depending on the evening there is enough traffic that it cripples the connection about half up a dozen hops upstream. Latency doubles at that point and things go to poo poo. Latency is hardly ever below 60 no matter where I test too. Bresnan/Optimum/Charter has some really poo poo routing going on, and traffic is all over the place. Doing a trace route and going by equipment names, hitting 4.2.2.2 sends me from Montana, to Seattle, to Denver, back to Montana, back to Denver, and the finally onto Level3's network in Dallas.

My home setup is nicer than most of my customers. And Watchguard gave it to me for free.

My internet at home is 64k at the moment, do i win a prize? Ok its shaped but normally i get 1-2 mbit for 80 dollars a month, 60gb limit. I actually wish Australia didn't have gun control so I could shoot myself.

When I was looking to buy a house my #2 requirement (#1 was no HOAs!) was that it had access to decent internet access. After 7 years of lovely Verizon "3G" that was barely faster than dialup and limited to 20GB I was determined to not get stuck in the same situation again. I got incredibly lucky in my search.. Brand new house in a small quiet rural town (population 300) only 4 miles from work with Fiber optic from a local independent provider (http://www.etczone.com/). Said town is located right between 2 larger cities that this provider serves. Their backbone just happens to run along the major interstate connecting these cities and they provide fiber optic service to all the communities along the route.  20/10, IPTV, and phone for $79 USD per month. No data limits. They do offer 100/40, but its about $40 extra... Speed test wise I always get bang on 20/10 with a less than 10ms ping.

Lots of interchanging between mbps (megaBITS) and MB/s (megaBYTES) I get 50mbps, or 6.25 MB/s comcast Blast at home. 40 bucks a month which will increase after a year. I think thats pretty good but some of you guys have ludicrously fast internet.

 It seems fast enough. I wonder what I would even do with triple digit speeds, once I got past the whole "I can download the internet in half a second!!" phase.

 First is my home Internet. That's the normal speed with about 13% packet loss. No data cap, but only thing that really works is torrents. We live less than a mile outside of a large metro area and comcast wants 4000 dollars to run a line to our house along with 4 other houses. The second is tethering to my phone which I do 90% of the time when I'm home. 8gig cap.

  Paying $120 a month including home line, phones/modem etc. This is a bad day, but the good days are still terrible. The speed they are selling me is 24MB/s, but they won't do anything about my lovely rear end connection even when we call/complain. gently caress that company and gently caress this country when it comes to internet. It is the only internet I can get in the area really, too.

What the gently caress, and I thought the previous post was bad. Yours is shoot-up-the-ISP bad. Not that mine is any good of course (here in the UK).  It is, however, cheap, and honestly, no better options are available, as I live in a small village connected to an exchange that hasn't been unbundled.

 1000/100 for the equivalent of $18/month I don't wanna use up my SSD with torrents so I need to get a normal hard drive that can stand over 100MBps without doing the disk overload thing, I'm thinking a WD black might work? I don't wanna deal with RAID.. That and the cost of a gigabit wireless router makes this gigabit internet thing kind of a pain in the rear end

3peat posted:1000/100 for the equivalent of $18/month Oh boo loving hoo! I suggest the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite for a gigabit-capable router. It has acceleration hardware which makes it actually transfer at line-rate, and retails for $99. No wireless, though, so you'll need a separate AP, but any inexpensive wireless router can serve that purpose well enough.

  I hate Comcast so goddamn much. Arlington, VA, and I have to deal with this poo poo on a daily basis. We get the advertised speeds (25 Mbit/s) somewhere between midnight and 4 AM, usually. I hope I can convince the landlord to switch to FIOS.
