Owned by a cat? You'll enjoy this...

AnimalMagic must have an E-mail address that triggers my killfile... I didn't see his response.

AnimalMagic certainly is naive... what is "DSL"? I haven't seen DSL around here for around ten years.

I have Cox Cable Premier, and I've measured it.

...Jim Thompson

Idiot. The first link given IS Cox's test site in Las Vegas.

Also, you used a software tool that measured it. You yourself didn't measure a damned thing, and you likely do not have the gear to do so.

Flukes Ethernet test set runs about $5k.

THIS is where I got the DSL claim from.

Cox has 10Mb/s service, but they have NO 2Mb/s uplink service. They max on residential installations at 512kb/s.

The uplink is ATM as well.

Run the test which was posted. It is a COX hosted site.

Why should I? There are closer speed test servers, for FLORIDA.

Did you ever consider that Jim would have a BUSINESS account, for his BUSINESS?

If it is on the backbone, and it is, you will get a better, more realistic throughput test from a more distant site. D'oh!

Did it ever occur to you that someone in these groups talking about their connection speed would typically be posting from home, and referring to their home links?

Also, even the business hooks Cox provides are ATM on the upside.

Dam. You were all plonked for starting stupid off topic and argumentitive threads that have nothing to do with electronics and then I saw the cat post and to be fair, it did have OT right in the subject. Had to bring you back. I hope that when it comes to anything electronic that you were worth it.

Ignoramus and clearly non-Cox user.

Premier ;-)

...Jim Thompson

You are obviously too retarded to know how to read headers.

Premier is NOT "business", AND premier does NOT have 2Mb/s up speed.

I should know. My DL is 11Mb/s and my UL is 512kb/s, and I HAVE PREMIER service.

This isn't a group about electronic design, it's a group for electronic designers. And their cats.

--- Indeed.

Over the last couple of years we lost everybody but Missy and, on top of our own sense of loss, watching her wonder where everybody had gone, (even though she didn't care all that much for them when they were here) one after the other, was very sad.

So, after they were all gone, (except for Missy) and some time went by, we decided to sparingly repopulate the house with cats and went down to the pound to save a life.

As soon as we walked into the "cat room", a little Siamese kitty at the far end of the room saw us and started making such a commotion jumping onto the cage wall and screaming at the top of his voice that I knew that kitty wanted us to be his.

So we did the paperwork and after the pound got ahold of our vet (ostensibly to find out if we were cat-eaters or something like that) and we paid Monty's bail, we brought him home and introduced him to Missy. Missy immediately went dominant, being on her own turf and Monty acquiesced, being a 3 month old kitty.

Things have changed since Missy now weighs about 6 pounds and Monty weighs about 14, but that's another story.

Then, a few months ago, one of the volunteers at my wife, Gail's, hospital told her that she had found a cat roaming around an apartment complex, had taken it in, and would Gail be interested in providing a home for it.

We now have three cats. :-)

Sounds so familiar. Our son Duane, the one who died of colon cancer last year, used to come home with cats... "it followed me home" ;-)

...Jim Thompson

I've been thinking of getting a Korat cat.

Sporty looking cats. Kinda like the a cat version of a greyhound.

A vet once told me that guys tend to have grey cats. Other colors weren't as popular.

Oh this is perfect. I love kitties and electronics! Here is Missy in her window. She is very pleased to make your acquaintance as well.

My cats are cuter than your cats, punk, and don't you forget it. [1]

Yep, I've been clawed from head-to-toe a few times ;-)

My "little guy"....

No. it's made from rag. Plant fiber. It's natural, and they know it. That's why they like paper bags too.
