Inet@home is back! Finally!

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

I finally, FINALLY got the internet connection at out new house!! Not only that, but it mind-blowing 100Mbps optical Hikari line. My upload speeds jumped 10x up to absolutely fantastic 700-800Kb/s! Download speeds are yet to be tested but I guess I'll be close to some 1Mb/s when connected to a server with fast uplink. And I now even have an IP phone at home so no analog connections at all :) Yay! Well worth the wait, although it doesn't mean that the time without the Net was not painful :)

 And here are some pics :)
