I'm transferring my Internet services from AT&T (DSL) to Charter Business (cable). I'm not sure of the date, but hopefully in the next week or less.

Obviously, I hub DOVE-Net for most sysops, but I also host the synchro.net primary DNS server, the Synchronet source code repository (CVS), irc.synchro.net, and provide SMTP mail relay and exchange services for several Synchronet sysops.

So if you are a Synchronet sysop or use a Synchronet BBS (especially with a *.synchro.net hostname), you'll likely experience some disruption in service in the next few days or weeks.

I expect it'll take a week or less for the new IP addresses to be configured on the various mirrors, secondary DNS server, etc., but when it's all said and done, we will all benefit from a major improvement in bandwidth here at Vertrauen (Synchronet and DOVE-Net HQ): an 8X improvement in my upstream (from 512Kbps to 4Mbps) and a 10X improvement in my downstream (from 6Mbps to 60Mbps).

I'll post more details as I have them,

God's gift to BBSing says: That should only take you an hour, tops. Maybe you should stop running your BBS like the rest of the fly-by-night sysops! :D :D :D

On a more serious note, thanks for the head's up. :)

No problem. I'm excited (and my kids and wife are) to be getting a major improvement in bandwidth. The currently scheduled install date is Jan-22 (next Wednesday).

I'm sure you'll enjoy having the extra internet bandwidth in your home.
And it will definitely benefit us other sysops too. :)

Yep, looking forward to it. Currently, the install date is next Wednesday (the 22nd).

Sounds real good. Hopefully the all around service is equally good, too. I have residential 30/5 cable (Time Warner) here and it's stable as a rock. The couple of times I tried AT&T around here, it was lousy. I think I was on the phone with customer service more than I was actually online. :)

And just in time for the abolishment of the FCCs Net Neutrality laws, because apparently the people that try to keep everything fair and balanced don't give enough "donations" to the federal government.

Just think, soon all your Comcast Xfinity(tm) crap will come out free of any lag or delays while everything else will be blocked or run like shit unless you pay extra for the priviledge of "Premium" Internet, because America is out of bandwidth, and we have to throttle you because you know, what do those Korean's know with their 40gbps connections for less than our 40mbps connections. They have g's, we have m's, and m comes after g so we're better.

Am I off topic?

When you question Comcast, the terrorists win.
