< adama> any docsis ninjas?
< adama> or, anyone who can tell me why this shitty cable is behaving
like a 10mbit half duplex wireless link
< Lukkie> with or without a concrete wall in between the signal ?
< adama> with
< Lukkie> that sucks
< adama> get some horrific latency sometimes
< adama> 500ms to first hop is not cool
<@redLED> adama, normally, thats a result of either excessive collisions
(too many nodes on the same shared span, causing you to wait a
lot before transmitting) or very low quality HFC plant
<@redLED> adama, both are issues you can do nothing about unless you have
access to the plant or the people who maintain it
<@will-h> access to the plant
<@will-h> if he lived in NL he'd be fine
<@will-h> plenty of access to the plant there
<@will-h> then he wouldn't care about 500ms RTT
< adama> oh, i'd still care
< adama> 500ms hurts adama's brain even whilst unconcious
< SlapChop> * 500ms hurts adama's brain. adama dies. you're awarded 9000
experience points
* adama dood
