[nmglug] today's choice on qwest vs. comcast, upper canyon road area

[Tom Farrell]

 Hi...

If your friend like to fuss about with computers, he or she might like the option to setup a server. I believe ComCast forbids servers on their network, while Qwest actually encourages users to setup servers (or, used to).

DSL performance/throughput depends on how far you are from the DMARC.
The closer you are, the better/faster you will have. Cable modem
performance depends on how many folks are using the same section of
the network.

I went with DSL, since I was close to the DMARC and scored a spare
modem from a coworker. Also, I will never give any money to comcrap.
