Re: Network Perfomance

Ah!,  there is a real difference between what a telecom provider tells
you and the reality.  In fact all FIOS is, is a LAN connection. I have a
static IP from them, so all it requires is a router with that IP address
(otherwise just a little ppoe stuff needs to be used). I have put in
intervening firewalls and so on, which would be very foolish for someone
not to have.

It turned out that network problem was a flaky patch cable,  "... curse
those do it yourself cables... " :)


Thanks

Peter
