aidogs 100 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 My appologies about the slow forum. My on-going dispute with the ISP continues : we are currently getting less than 1/10th of what I'm paying for in bandwidth. Because of this, I'm switching vendors. This is too absurd. Over the next few weeks, depending on how soon I can get the cable installed (physical upgrade too!), I'll be switching the forum over to use the ISP. This will cause some disruption as the moving of the DNS (internet name to IP reference) may take a few days. I'll be posting news and status as I get it. Link to post Share on other sites

Karen 41 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Great news. Apparently I have no patience, so I'm looking forward to no waiting for page loads. Sorry this is taking so much effort! It is appreciated, very much. Thanks Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites
Allison 2,369 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yo baby yo. We switched at our house in Waitsburg, already. So excellently fast and smooth. You guys will love it! Link to post Share on other sites
Sherab 2,337 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 As usual I lost a few brain cells reading AIDOGS post. Pop pufff and some smoke. Oh, wait the idiot is for someone else. So are you saying you have lazy magic gnomes and you are switching to better ones? Link to post Share on other sites
Starghoti 466 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Sherab- Apparently the 'old' ISP is using the out-dated abacus processor.. Link to post Share on other sites
aidogs 100 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 The new service is slated to go in Monday morning. That's step one. The next to happen is that I need to get all of the DNS entries ported over to the new service. I think I can do this with out too much disruption, but I'm looking into it.

miz molly 1,800 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 You are awesome Bruce. It will be really NICE when we get out of "slo-mo." Thanks for all of your work that you are doing. In my book you are a GENIUS!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Chinatola 927 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I've been wondering for a while why it seemed so slow....that's great news....I agree with everyone else too...thanks so much for the effort at maintaining the site...it's really a labor of love & that come shining through!

aidogs 100 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 So I've got the cable setup, business class, yada yada yada.... I'm seeing a consistent 10mBaud on my upload side (conversely, it's your download bandwidth). This is really, really good. This is over 50 times better than the ADSL phone we're currently one. Now comes the tricky and slow part of moving the names. This will cause an outage as the name will resolve incorrectly until the name propagates out to all the DNS locations. We will be seeing erratic outages for a few days. I post a warning before I change the names. Link to post Share on other sites

aidogs 100 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Okay. Tests passed. WE ARE VERY CLOSE. I'll be restructuring the network tonight in preparation of the new provider and the Domain Name changes. We may have a bumpy next couple of days but if I don't have any serious problems retrieving puppy pix will be a joy once more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

aidogs 100 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 It should be now. Link to post Share on other sites
aidogs 100 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I should'a figured you'd be able to detect exactly when things settled down, Starghoti! Thanks....'cause I've been testing in the blind. Let me know if you guys have problems (through the forum; my mx record is horked at GoDaddy and I'm trying to fix that...but there should not be an impact to youse). We are currently running at 20mb/10mb. You guys should should be seeing almost 50x-100x better upload/download times. Link to post Share on other sites
aidogs 100 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Next weekend will be another patch/upgrade for the forum. The impact should be minimal. Link to post Share on other sites

RoyS 20 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Things seem to be better than they were here but still kind of slow. I think it is my internet though. It seems to be fast at times and quite slow at others. Not much to choose from as far as internet goes here. Link to post Share on other sites
Allison 2,369 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Oh yeah baby, quick returns, and even dropping it at my feet! I'll go try some pictures. Giggle, giggle, snort...dang that's fast! Link to post Share on other sites
