Comcast in the Philadelphia market seems to be plenty friendly to all major platforms and a few minor ones too. I was on it for about 9 months when I first got into town and had no problems connecting my menagerie of oddball equipment to their service. Though I am now on RCN. I'm telling you, if RCN ever offers broadband in the Triangle, jump on it. The service is great. Very reliable. Fast news server. For an extra $20 a month you get a static IP plus unfiltered ports (yes, you can run servers with this service upgrade) and more bandwidth. I'm getting about 5Mbps down and 800K up, but sometimes it seems like I can get as much as 8Mbps though I am only guaranteed the 5 (and usually do get 5Mbps down on a well connected server). -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
