Santa Cruz


What part - up in the mountains? I ask because I lived in Santa Cruz in 2010 (and grew up there too) and had 30Mbit internet from Comcast.


Westside. Comcast isn't an option because I run my own servers, need a static ip, and don't need their silly games. And note that Comcast speed is an "up to" and shared thing. A friend is with them in Palo Alto and gets numbers like yours during the day, and then in the evening it drops to around a Mbit or two as the entire neighbourhood watches Netflix.

I'm using Cruzio. The spend bump was because they partnered with Sonic and also use ADSL 2+ instead of only the old crusty ADSL. Cruzio also will not pull any of the stunts Comcast et al do ("traffic shaping" to favour their own products, quotas etc).
