[NCLUG] AT&T slow to sucky, DNS showers

[Matt Pujol]

Qwest DSL is in my neighborhood (Horsetooth and Timberline).  Have you seen
any diesel generators in front of the SLC96 boxes in your neigborhood?  That
was the sign around us - apparently they didn't do a very good job on power
budgeting.

 So, my cablemodem seems to be working, although I spent a good portion of
yesterday trying to download a couple small (6-10MB) files over it. Traces
through shows a particularly messy AT&T network and speed (if you can call
it that) was abysmal when the DNS servers actually resolved an address.
They seem to be pretty picky about what sites are fast and which are slow
to non-reachable too.

 The question, then, is what have you guys heard about Qwest progress on
DSL in Fort Collins? Or, for that matter, other "broadband" solutions that
actually offer, you know, bandwidth. I'm hoping that someone with half a
brain at Qwest said "Hey, while we're pulling this fiber up here for AT&T,
why don't we install some more DLSAM's at the same time?" Yeah, I know,
the half-a-brain thing is wishful thinking...
