2008-05-21T15:34:21Z 2008-05-21T15:34:21Z Today, Jerome and I were complaining about how slow the internet was.  It ocured to me that it probably should be slow.  We have a lot of stuff going on.  Up to 5 simultaneous people (3 on avg.) using the web, backups running, software syncing files to remote storage, etc.  So I decided I'd call Comcast.  Here is how it went down.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Me:</span> I need more bandwidth.<br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Comcast:</span> It will be $10 extra a month to triple it<br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Me:</span> I'll take it<br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Comcast: </span>You're modem will reboot in 30 seconds, and you'll have it.<br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Me: </span>Ok thanks<br /> <br /> Sure enough in a few seconds we were flying again.  This is exactly how customer service should work.  Can you here me now?<img src="http://greg-dean.com/aggbug/27.aspx" width="1"

some API's that would allow you to echo tweets to twitter (when its up), to help beat the network effect.  If someone came up with a good name I'd consider working on it.<img
