| 17:45:57 [Pipian] | So I finished looting Borders's corpse yesterday |
| 17:48:33 [nathanbp|work] | oh |
| 17:48:36 [nathanbp|work] | get anything good? |
| 17:48:37 [Pipian] | MTA shuts down noon on Saturday |
| 17:48:48 [Pipian] | And I already got most of what I wanted |
| 17:48:53 [nathanbp|work] | really? what a bunch of wimps :P |
| 17:48:54 [Pipian] | Yesterday was just to mop up some CD box sets |
| 17:49:03 [nathanbp|work] | I guess I won't be sailing Saturday afternoon |
| 17:49:16 [Pipian] | (Previously I got a bunch of CDs, but no books) |
| 17:49:25 [Pipian] | I also picked up three books that looked interesting |
| 17:49:30 [Pipian] | No really good CS books per se |
| 17:49:53 [Pipian] | And I didn't really look closely at the manga since there's nothing I'm in need of (Yotsuba, SZS and such haven't come out for a while) |
| 17:51:17 [Pipian] | Tappan Zee and George Washington bridges also shut at noon |
| 18:17:07 [nathanbp|work] | oh wow, noon saturday? |
| 18:19:21 [Pipian] | Yes |
| 18:20:44 [nathanbp|work] | what's your source for that? |
| 18:22:01 [Pipian] | Okay |
| 18:22:04 [Pipian] | Maybe not at noon |
| 18:22:11 [Pipian] | But iff winds exceed 60MPH |

| 21:31:21 [nathanbp|work] | Get FIOS? |
| 21:32:46 [AChes] | It seems like my options are TWC and ATT, do you know if uverse is like fios? |
| 21:35:14 [AChes] | also is fios worth it if the nominal speeds are the same as cable? |
| 21:36:04 [Pipian] | Uverse is like FIOS from my tangential knowledge of the subject |
| 21:36:49 [Pipian] | Neither has Comcast does it? |
| 21:36:56 [nathanbp|work] | Pretty sure Uverse is not like FIOS |
| 21:37:46 [nathanbp|work] | yeah Uverse is fiber to somewhere closeish to you |
| 21:37:48 [nathanbp|work] | and then DSL to you |
| 21:37:57 [nathanbp|work] | FIOS is fiber to your house |
| 21:38:15 [nathanbp|work] | I'd say FIOS is worth it as you're more likely to actually get the nominal speeds |
| 21:38:41 [nathanbp|work] | If you can't get FIOS then which is better probably varies locally |
| 21:39:23 [nathanbp|work] | and has more to do with what kind of service you can actually get from your ISP (meaning do they suck at fixing things or not) |
| 21:40:51 [AChes] | yeah I think I end up with cable, mostly because ATT seems to be a pain for my folks to deal with |
| 21:42:56 [Pipian] | nathanbp: I thought it was the other way around |
| 21:43:02 [Pipian] | One is to the curb, one is to the node |
| 21:43:48 [Pipian] | Uverse is Fiber to the Neighborhood, with Fiber to the Premises in some places |
| 21:44:31 [Pipian] | FiOS is to the home, yes. |
| 21:44:57 [Pipian] | U-verse is IPTV |
| 21:45:03 [Pipian] | FiOS is not |
| 21:45:06 [Pipian] | (QAM) |
| 21:45:11 [Pipian] | In case that matters for you |
| 21:46:18 [AChes] | I wasn't planning on getting TV so I don't think so |
| 21:47:32 [AChes] | I should see if i can figure out where my node would be, uverse might be worth if if it's realy close, I suppose I should measure the currnt one through TWC too |
| 21:47:46 [Pipian] | Well |
| 21:47:50 [Pipian] | It's still ADSL for the last mile |
| 21:47:58 [Pipian] | Unless you're in one of the FTTP neighborhoods |
| 21:48:10 [Pipian] | Ultimately |
| 21:48:23 [Pipian] | Your best choice is probably going to be based on provider rather than "is it FTTP or FTTN" |
| 21:49:04 [Pipian] | e.g. What are each provider's caps and service available /in your area/ |
| 21:49:33 [AChes] | yeah I should see if there are caps but they really want to bury that information |
| 21:49:50 [Pipian] | And also what their network management info is. |
| 21:50:04 [Pipian] | e.g. Comcast and torrents (although I hear that's less of a problem with Comcast these days) |
| 21:51:16 [Pipian] | You can usually do this by trolling places like DSLReports |
| 21:51:27 [Pipian] | You'll always hear bad stories and good stories |
| 21:51:30 [Pipian] | But you can get a good feel |
| 21:52:54 [AChes] | I was dreading that answer, but it's probably right |
