Don't forget to fix bufferbloat. A lot of complaints people have with ISPs is probably due to high latencies under load caused by bufferbloat. You can fix bufferbloat by running either CeroWrt or a "Barrier Breaker" development release of OpenWrt. Check here to see if you have bufferbloat and how to fix it: http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Quick_Test_for_Bufferbloat On Mon, May 05, 2014 at 05:16:34PM -0400, dglaser@glaserresearch.net wrote:
I live in the same general area (Malvern Rd) and your choice is either Verizon DSL or Charter Cable. I used Verizon DSL and found it to be really SLOOWWWW. The switching office is too far away for fast speeds. I use charter and I get 30 mb download. It is more reliable than Verizon. The phone trunk lines run under southbridge street and there is a severe water problem along that route. One time my phone and dsl was out for three days. -David

I'm moving back to Worcester after 5-ish years. I used speakeasy for DSL when I lived near Indian Lake, but they aren't the same company anymore, and the new place is just off Hope Ave, by the cemeteries, Hadwen Park, and the Auburn line. Can anyone recommend a good ISP out that way, or a good website to find an ISP?
