To be clear are you getting 50Mbps or 50 MBps? Because 50MBps is roughly what I would expect of 1Gbps.

I managed to wipe out the reproductive capacity of the feral colony by the transitional living center off Chestnut Expressway near Boonville. Watching over Whiskers was a fantastic resource, and deserves any charitable contributions you have: http://www.watchingoverwhiskers.org

I also believe this is happening due to a prohibition in the Missouri Constitution against community-owned broadband initiatives, though I certainly understand the desire to not have a to support every device on the market that could hypothetically receive traffic.

Kind of a drag they went with the router Quantum supplied. It isn’t very good. The problems may be entirely down to software. I used VLAN 201 tag and moved it over to my PFsense whitebox.

I heard a year.

They’re handing off operations to Brightspeed in this area. It really seems to be part of a two-stage deal where CenturyLink builds fiber as Quantum and then gives it over to Brightspeed. It isn’t yet clear if this is all part of the plan and that Brightspeed will be overseeing the network under LLU, or if something else is going on. Parts of the Brightspeed page suggest it is a wholesaler of internet access, but the website is a fucking mess and I can’t find it when I go looking for it.

Mediacom is letting it’s infrastructure rot while it waits for fiber access. Fuck them. I’ve lived under Comcast (Illinois), Verizon (DC), and Spectrum (St. Louis), and each had their own special brand of customer nightmarishness. Mediacom’s horror was its recent inclination to not repair essential infrastructure, its lack of affordable gigabit, and its skunkshit data caps. I’d prefer to not have to deal with any of those three ever again, but if the new guy can’t get billing live before it allows people to start making accounts, that smells like burning plastic to me.

I see it now. Do we know when they’re going to start selling the Simply Unlimited tier? I’m paying $60 for synchronous gigabit but none of the Simply Unlimited branding appears on my dashboard or invoice.

They could not successfully charge my credit card for some reason. When I tried to change it (using first Safari, then Firefox) the website crapped out at the part where it confirms your billing information has been entered, and it still lists a one-month deficit despite all this being done by following a button purporting to give me the ability to pay outstanding fees.

Well, in part because I can’t find that information anywhere on their website, and their crappy support page doesn’t pull up anything specific to data cap policy when you ask about it.
