Re: [OT] New Satellite Service

[geraint@xxxxxxx]

both cable modem and adsl are excellent in terms of speed.

I think the cable modem may be the better choice if you have both
options.
I know Brian has this config, so he may be able to tell you his
thoughts\findings etc.

As for computers being left switched on. Simple answer is YES.

They are designed to be left switched on these days, especially with
the power saving features. I know the same applies for hi-fi etc as
well, and the best example I was ever shown was "when does a
lightbulb ever blow" - answer only when being switched on. I leave
ALL my pc's and servers switched on 24/7 and have never yet suffered
from a faulty power supply.
The only down point is that the electricity bill does increase
slightly, especially when using server which have quite big current
draw on the power supplies.

P.S. - The patch panel was sent out to you today :)

Regards

Geraint
