Say what you will about the confluence of PG&E and flawed generator management at Live365 causing net outages, nothing beats Comcast for intermittent internet with no discernable pattern. Comcastic.

Indeed. In the last several months I've noted a rise in semi-regular, instant dis/re-connects. Was only mildly annoying when the worst was my IM connection bouncing up and down, but became a real problem when I tried to work from home over VPN last week.
Personally, I suspect this is some kind of automated clipping of the connection to keep people from using high-bandwidth persistent connections.

Huh. I haven't seen anything that'd seem to correlate it to usage here, but I haven't seen a pattern at all yet, so who knows.
It could be about just persistent connections, not just high volume ones, because I do keep a couple of generally low traffic persistent connections running.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
