ACME Updates

29jun2018 FIBER!

ACME Labs is now on the net via gigabit fiber from Sonic. A thousand times the bandwidth for 1/5th the cost. Woo hoo!

The install happened a month earlier than I had scheduled, which is good. It also took 8.5 hours, which is not so good. But it works great now. Lots of web sites that I thought were slow, e.g. Flickr and Google Maps, turns out are not slow when I have good bandwidth.

Amusing side note, I had turned off my firewall rules while getting the routing set up. Literally two seconds before turning the rules back on I noticed a port scan starting. Hah hah, not today jerks.
