[ale] [OT] A vent and whine - ignore with dignity

[Jim Kinney]

Ha, ha! If it makes you feel any better, I was vying for symmetric 10Mbps
about 10 years ago but bellsouth backed down on the fiber line run. They ran
the conduit and installed a new "green pole" at my driveway and wimped out
on the headend costs. At that time I had dual 64k ISDN and a new DSL line
was installed instead. I think I got 1M/128k for half the cost of the dual
ISDN.

It really does matter what that last mile is. Being "too far out" has it's
ups and downs. Yours are slow :-)

Look at bonding a pair of those lines using the routing features in a linux
firewall box.

 Faith is a cop-out. If the only way you can accept an assertion is by
faith, then you are conceding that it can’t be taken on its own merits.
