Cabling - Know when to walk away
10. September 2008 by Myke.
If you are like us, you have been called in to give an estimate on cleaning up some cabling work. You walk in and within an instant you decide your company no longer cables. We are gathering some photos now of some of the worst cabling jobs you have encountered. We all want a clean and pretty data center, but sometimes you have to know when to say “no”.
And we save the best for last…

Comcast - Agnostic traffic management
15. August 2008 by Myke.
Comcast is currently testing a new protocol - agnostic traffic management
After coming under fire and finally getting nailed for lying, cheating and playing big brother Comcast is testing a new approach. Rather than limiting the bandwidth available to all BitTorrent users when network traffic is heavy (all day mind you), the company will target the individuals clogging the pipe. By measuring aggregate bandwidth consumption, Comcast can identify the heaviest users. During times of network congestion, the heavy users will notice a delay in their data requests until overall traffic has gone down.
Comcast is currently testing this idea in PA and WA and has been since June. If the testing goes well, they will start to roll this out by the end of the year.
Okay, my take on this is that they are trying to cover themselves for their failure last year and going into this year. Comcast users are still complaining and the FCC is still involved. Thank god for Qwest fiber Internet.

Want to test your Broadband speeds?
11. August 2008 by Myke.
We have received numerous e-mails in regards to what we did to test our “Old Comcraptic” broadband speeds and what we used to test our new “QWest Sent From the Gods” broadband speeds. Well this is as easy as pie folks. You can test any Internet service you are running by using any one of the following sites.
Speedtest.net Gadget Show Speakeasy.net McAfee Speedometer MySpeed
You can also go for the trusty Google search and go from there. There are many ways to test this out and all are free. Always remember this little tip, test your speed from at least 3 different groups to get a more accurate speed average. Good luck and happy surfing.
