Only one to two months until we get ADSL 2+!!!! TPG has changed the estimated time of completion for ADSL 2+ at the Chapel Hill Telephone exchange. This means that we will be able to get 24 mbps for $50 a month!Thats 48 times as fast as the internet we have now! (512 kbps)
It’s also great beause it has a static IP address, which means that I am going to be able to run a mail server. Then I can use stephen@stephengentle.com for my email address. I do have a mail server now, but a lot of big email providers block dynamic IPs to cut back on spam.
This deal is so awesome, because we can get this with 18GB downloads for the same amount that we are paying now!! Check out these plans!!
To make it even better, the connection will have a static IP address, which will make hosting these sites at home much easier than it is now. It will also make the sites four times faster than they are now!!!
The only way we won’t get this is if they raise their prices heaps, or if they have some issues with the contract we are on.
