[GLLUG] sbc x comcast

[Andy Lee]

When I switched from comcast to sbc I was shocked at how much slower it really is. Comcast felt just as fast as my connection at work, where anything you click on just opens like it's local. sbc (their cheapest dsl package) has a noticeable lag between clicking and opening. I haven't done any real speed tests lately, but if you want numbers I can get them. 
That said, for less than 1/3 of the price I've "suffered" with dsl for 2 years. I'm thinking about switching back to comcast though, when my sbc contract is up next month.

Hello,

Most likely, I will migrate from comcast to sbc (given the price point). I 
would like know if anyone could give some advice about any  noticible 
difference between both. And also, in terms of IP address; my IP addres with 
comcast is dynamic, but usually I stay with same IP address for weeks and if 
I don't disconnect or reset the modem probably even longer. Would the IP 
address with sbc work in similary way?

And I also would like to know your opinion about the pos and cons of hosting a 
website in a local machine via sbc or comcast connection (with dynamic ip 
address) and with  DynDNS.org Account for redirection of Dynamic IP Address 
to FQDM.

Thanks in advance,
Pedro Wald
