Downtime, at some point

[iago]

My wireless router does that, but it's internal.  The internet-facing router is a crappy one I got for free. 

Some day I might figure out how to do a PPPoE connection in Linux and put my box straight into the modem, then I can update DynDNS no problem.

No, but running MySQL Queries all day takes CPU usage.

Not enough to matter with a website this size...

Yeah, it's not a significant amount. 

On a sidenote, I was also looking at commercial packages from my ISP, which would allow me to do static ip, email, proper DNS, and other stuff.  I don't want to commit to anything yet, but it looks promising.

what kind of cost difference is that....

[iago]

Well, I'd likely get it in addition to my current internet, I wouldn't want my family on the same static ip.  I'd probably be looking somewhere between $40 and $100/month.

40-100, big price range there......why such a large range?

[iago]

Mostly because I didn't feel like looking up the actual costs, which this link might get you to:

They demand a 5-year contract, and I doubt I'll be living here for that long, so I'm going to put it off for now.

Yeah, they're equal to what I have now for download speed, and iirc they have higher upload speed.  Also having a static ip and no blocked ports would be nice. 

[Joe]

Wow iago. Just saw the specs. I'll trade Scienza for that box.

Yeah... but I have that now.  MTS is a terrible company.  :)
