My client in suburban Chicago, IL is looking to swap out their Comcast Coax HFC Internet and PRI service for fiber-based service to provide higher upstream bandwidth for offsite backups. We are currently considering quotes for Comcast Ethernet Dedicated Internet Fiber and AT&T Dedicated Internet Fiber in the 100Mbps to 200Mbps range.
Does anyone have experience with either of these services that they would like to share?
Thanks!
@travisdh1 I started on AT&T System V and BSD UNIX 4.1 when the little software house on the prairie that I worked for in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois was creating a merged port of these systems to Gould hardware. I have since worked on a variety of AT&T UNIX flavors, especially when I worked at AT&T Bell Labs in Naperville, Illinois. I later played with SCO Unix of several flavors, Minix, and on to FreeBSD and Linux. With Linux, I mainly followed the Red Hat line, so CentOS has gotten a lot of my attention. But doing some work in Ubuntu and Debian lately, also. And macOS too as my daily driver. And I'm just remembering some time spent with variants of these *NIX systems such as AIX, SunOS/Solaris, HP-UX, etc.
How about yourself, @travisdh1?
@scottalanmiller Thanks, Scott! I am an IT Service Provider serving small business clients in Illinois. A *NIX guy from way back when.
