Later today around 3-5 PM I am dropping my current ISP Speakeasy ADSL internet connection and switching to Comcast cable internet connection.  I was on Comcast from 2000-2002 which was a good service until late 2002 when the service badly degraded due to an influx of new users.  That’s when I jumped ship to Speakeasy which has been solid for almost seven years running.  However, lately I noticed Speakeasys’ excessive latency and a few days and phone calls later I have made the decision to return to Comcast (i.e., long story and I am tight on time currently).

The upshot of all this is I will have better speeds with Comcast for daily surfing which is important to me the software engineer.  The downside is Comcast does not allow open ports and my web server, sitting behind me on the floor in my apartment from which the page you are reading is hosted at, will have to be moved to a data center somewhere.  In the intern my website will be down. Probably take a few days so be patient, please!
