LAN Question
« on: February 11, 2010, 11:11:21 PM »
Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but I thought I remembered Comcast being at the LAN last year and providing (50? Mbit) access, is that right?

If so, are they coming again? This is really just a curiosity thing, not like I spent a lot of time on an outside connection while at the LAN. But I thought I remembered a fairly excellent connection last year.

IIRC yes it was 2 50Mb docsys modems.  Nice speedy connection.  Actually after that LAN I contacted the comcast rep that was there and dropped my DSL in favor of some nice 16Mb down/6Mb up cable internet.

It was definitely a sweet connection. Almost felt odd not getting choked out, especially with so many people.

Good to know as almost all of my games are steam based.

We started the LAN last year with 2 50mb connections that were load balanced, but the NIC I was using for the second connection kept crapping out on me, so I pulled that out of the mix late Friday night, so we truly only used 1 50mb connection last year for most of the time. This year I didn't have time to really test a load balanced setup, so we'll just be going with the single 50mb connection again this time.

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

which is funny because I STILL had to get a few of my steam games AND I bought one (either left 4 dead or lost planet was on special at that particular time) and all the downloads were lightning fast.
