All, Devs, The horrendous mirror slowness I've had with TW upgrades is SOLVED. Cable co. was out this morning and strung a new 200 ft. cable from the drop to the house. Upper insulation near the drop was gone and outer COAX shielding was partially chewed. Odd thing is it effected some areas of the globe worse than others. For whatever reason, number of hops, different routes, etc.. it effected RIPE addresses worse than most others. Cable company had previously said "no problems on their end". Guy today said, "no, your connection is hosed, I can see that on the screen". Getting competent tech-support is like Russian-Roulette anymore... Good news is mirror-chooser from the US is now working fine, and has been. This was the 3rd cable they have replaced from the drop to the house. Tree-rats are hell on aerial-coax.... -- David C.
