Most property insurance does not cover damage from civil unrest (riots) and war.

Along with the Skyway, closure is the concern of the state highway Rt. 139 repairs. Two of the four lanes will be shut down each way. Periodic crossover closures will take place as well. The ramp leading to the Holland Tunnel will still be open for access. My question is if Palisade Ave is closed for crossing and you are travelling north on Palisade Ave. and are not going to the tunnel what happens when you reach the intersection of the state Hwy and the ramp to the tunnel.

You are confusing treating all traffic equally and handling of excessive traffic. The former is about not discriminating between traffic from one source and another. The latter is about fairness. ISPs have generally been open to allowing any and all traffic to traverse their networks on the belief that things even out in the end. So, FiOS customers may generate a lot of load and traffic on networks belonging to other ISPs (say Comcast, TWC, etc) and the same holds true for customers of other ISPs. So, the loads ISPs carry and generate for each other are usually equal, more or less. But, what we are talking about here is completely different: Netflix has data centers, but they are not large data carries open to other ISPs. As such, they are generating loads but not carrying any for other ISPs. It is truly an imbalance and they CHOSE to make it worse by increasing the data they generate and push.

As for your company generating a lot of traffic/data, they already pay for that. Every company pays for pushing out data by subscribing to specific bandwidth limits when contracting their Internet service.

Netflix has an agreement with their ISP in most cases I believe it is Cogent, they are the ones that are responsible for the peering not Netflix. Who makes the arbitrary number of what is "excessive"? Furthermore as the end consumer I pay for my 75mbps, I should be getting that throughput or at least close, but by throttling the data from Netflix they are not treating it equal to my refresh of JcList.

We've had Comcast Xfinity for a week (we just moved to JC) and we're thinking about canceling our subscription. We have their internet package, but we can only get Wifi if our laptop is literally adjacent to the modem/router. i.

My WiFi has degraded significantly recently (Fios Actiontec router). As I type this in my office, my laptop his hardwired to the network via Cat-5e.

The cause by me is a huge increase in the number of people using wireless routers, taking up the available bandwith. At times, I can pull up 20+ on my computer.. many with a stronger signal than mine (my router is at the other end of the apartment).

I plan to fix it by buying a third party router with more power and using it for its wireless function only. The Actiontec will stay as a gateway to the internet, but its wireless will be turned off.

The two brands I am looking at right now:

Asus
Amped

I haven't had a significant problem until yesterday and netflix was unwatchable. I am far from tech savvy and have no clue how to implement your suggestion. How difficult is it tO hard code a new DNS server address into the router?

If you are having the same problem I was: I fixed it by signing up with OpenDNS. I hard coded the new DNS server address into the Fios router. After flushing the DNS cache on the computers and rebooting the bluray player, the lag issues went away.

Given the state's thorough trashing of McCabe/Carepoint's credibility, I have to wonder how the City Council can accept the recommendation of the selecting committee?
