@scottalanmiller Yes. FIOS rates going up here and in some neighborhoods in Rochester area can get Greenlight fiber for 1/2 the price

I need to convince the wife we need to move 60 miles down the Thruway!

I had a 2011 6 speed Hyundai Accent. Loved it. Averaged 32city/42 higway, went about 85000 mi before I traded it in last spring. Just did oil changes on it ever 6 months and brakes at 45000 I think. The OEM tires were junk though, especially in snow. I got good michilens put on after the first year. Only reason I got rid of it was 2 kids = too much stuff to fit in the trunk.

I stil have I think 8 CPU's from that scam. Maybe I'll set up a free 3CX server on it over the weekend for giggles

Winter Prep this week-end, putting lawn furniture away, getting the snow blower out of the shed and tuned up, putting the "summer" toys away, What fun!

What about one of the DNS based filtering services? At our church I set up Dyn's Internet Guide and it works very well:

As you are probably aware, there are also services available from OpenDNS and Symantec.

I have a place and recommend them highly.

They offer free shipping which is HUGE because of the weight of some UPS batteries. Reasonably priced as well. Since we are in NY we have to pay sales tax but their free shipping offsets the tax.

I typically don't mention my company name on the boards, but if say telelcommunications, big red vans, does that give it away?

We have an office in Brighton, our HQ is in Tonawanda,NY

Wonder if we can get it for our office in Brighton. I should put a request into them

WOOHOO

CHuck-E-Cheese tomorrow for a birthday party for a family friend. Sunday we're going to an area farm to get pumpkins and the petting zoo.

@IRJ Thats how we in Buffalo know we are actually getting a good storm when TWC shows up and you see Cantore on the streets

I just got this from our colocation facility:
"This message is to inform our customers of a nationwide Level 3 phone outage. Due to this outage calls to the EOC cannot be completed"

We had Century Link MPLS as well a while back (6 years now). On the technical side, no major issues, Level 1 tech support was a good/bad as any other carrier; I will say their communication during any outage we had was excellent though as I would get usually 2 hour or 4 hour updates without asking.
The billing side though was horrendous. We never and I mean NEVER got a correct bill. Had to fight their billing team every month as we were supposed to be on some sort of promotion were we got a loop discount on each site, it was NEVER applied to any of our bills, had to call them and get a correction each month.

@JaredBusch Noted and thanks for the warning!

I downloaded it from Nerd Vittles and started to get it installed on my Pi but haven't had time to further investigate

Any thoughts on Barracuda? We've used their mail security and filtering services in the past, no idea how good they are for 365

@BRRABill good idea, I can get direct flights from BUF and we have family out there so I can take the family. WIn WIN

I am assuming you installed latest firmware, drivers and SNMP for the Broadcom NIC's?

I jsut decommissioned my last 2950 that had Broadcom in it. I know they were teamed and we did it through the BACS software not the base drivers. Exactly where though I do not remember it wasn't obvious I remember that much unlike version 3 where its right there
