Time for sleep

yea wtf ?

YES, it has been going off and on all day, I don't know what is worse lately, here or Tuners....

Then again, if servers are switched, won't we have to start over fresh with the board?

I don't think it would be nice to bad mouth another person who does webhosting.. so i am not going to vote..

But to answer Jakeys question..

no you won't have to start over fresh if it is migrated correctly....
and yes i've not been able to get on the board for half of the day today...

I called the owners cell phone and talked to him and he should have it totally fixed soon if not already. aj just has no patiance.

I would agree if it hasn't been happening for the past month. I realize it's cheaper hosting, but you shouldn't have as much down time as we do. Hope to god whatever he's doing fixes it. I'd rather pay more money a month and get some quality service then deal with this shit anymore. :censored:

FUCK, this sucks. It takes minutes to fully load a page at times and I'm on a cable modem.

Does great sometimes, other times it struggles.

Weird, It only takes me 2-3 seconds, But Ive got DSL

Cable is faster than dsl.

Negative. When you can get upload and download speeds equal to that of DSL, let me know. I have see SDSL packages available with 5mbit up/down.... I haven't seen anything close to that with cable. If you want to argue computers and internet technology, just let Raptor and I know. :smoker:

"In bandwidth, cable is king: With the exception of fiber optics, there is no faster way to send a data stream from one location to another"

Check it out.

Stuff

If your just talking about service providers there are limits as they have shared networks but overall cable is faster.

DSL has its up as it is not a shared line like cable.

I stopped reading that article once I read that. Burst speed doesn't mean shit. The speed that you can sustain over a period of time is what's important. When I had 768k SDSL I rarely had a drop in speed, which it was pegged around 80kB/second. When I'm downloading with cable it's never at the same speed, and usually slowly drops off over a period of time on large downloads.

Bring it on, Peter. :smoker:

I dont want to start anything, we are both right in different aspects.

Cable will be as fast as dsl or faster if there isnt anyone else on your shared provider.

What is standard DSL connection speeds.... Isnt it like 400k? While cable is 768 and up depending on users, area etc.

Theres too many different items in the way to prove whats right. Overall SDLS might be more stable but cannot reach as high of speeds.

Im talking about standard stuff not upgraded services.

I will back him up...

Thing with cable is that most of the time the other side is what the bottleneck ends up being...

I know because i would be downloading from my home machine from my server that i know is capable of downloading at over 2MB/sec and i would go full 380KB (limit of my cable modem) until the whole 4 gig file is done.

I've done it with dsl and same result.. full blast until the tile is done..

Also i've done tests over at my work which went continuous 2MB/sec


Now doing the same transfer from home and work at the same time i was able to get full 380KB plus 1.5MB so that shows to you that even tho my works connection can sustain 45MB/sec downloads/uploads and my home only 380Kb ... i was not going full speed at work.. so i should say T3+ OC48 is not fast enough because i wasn't able to get the full speed???
Wrong...

Limit was the host..

I think you're both right. I also think that either one costs way to damn much. Internet should be a lot cheaper than it is. I'm getting raped by Comcast. :bs:

:fworld: :rant: The site is still fucking down half the time I try to get on it :rant: :fworld:

I thought we had free hosting through Raptor?

Yep, I gave up on it last night cause it was so terrible.

No, we switched it (from Raptors) which is why we lost everything (when we also switched to IB Board)

What happened, free wasn't cheap enough? :P
