Re: GCI Cable for webhosting

I have had poor upload throughput experience with GCI Cable (business).
I don't know what the package is, so I can't say for sure what the
down/up numbers are. I find that surfing and downloading files (not
something I do often being aware of the maximum limit even though I
don't know what it is) is really snappy. When I upload a large audio
(mp3) file, usually 3 to 5 M, there appearers to be throttling in force.
That is, 100 to 256 k are uploaded, then it pauses for awhile. Then
another couple hundred k are uploaded followed by a pause. So, I usually
set the ftp client (dukemftp) to upload a bunch, turn off the monitor,
close the hutch doors, and go home. Then the next day I will check the
site. So far, everything has been uploaded without problems except for
speed.
