Phfactor Speedup

As of last night, you should be seeing a big speedup on all phfactor sites, from 40k/sec to 200. We’re now hosted on AT&T u-verse service instead of Speakeasy.net. I love Speakeasy, but the economics are hard to argue with: Speakeasy was $90/month for 3.0/.768 (megabits/sec) and AT&T is 18/1 for $65! What’s more, the DSL modem is showing that we’re actually provisioned for 25/2 and speed tests confirm that’s what I’m getting.

(Since that screenshot it got faster. When’s the last time you saw that, eh?)

25 megabits!

Anyway, we’re also trying their bundled voice service, will post with results. So far, I’m pretty happy with U-verse and I’m really happy to finally get an increase from offsite as well. Hopefully it’ll be as reliable as Speakeasy.
