Network pics thread

Some pic's.

Intel quad core xeon came in today, and the server came with a 4gig stick of ddr3 so i installed it to install hyperv and get it burned in and running. Will be ordering 32 gig set in a week or so.

If any one wants to know, Yes its a quiet server, runs quieter when in windows

Here is a post that I posted on dslreports a while back with some pictures of my FIOS upgrade from dual 35/35 to 150/75 for anyone who is interested. It took 6 months and probably about 30 hours on the phone with VZ to actually get this upgrade completed:

So first things first.. the install (lots of pics):

The new SFU ONT still in its bag =)


It unpackaged and opened:


Old ONT's:


Old ONT with its door open (ready to get removed):


ONT removed and frank winding the fiber:


New ONT mount mounted:


Fiber being rapped in new mount:


Mount cover on:


New ONT installed ready for fiber:


Back to my serving hub hooking me up to GPON:


Remaining GPON drops:


Hub Box view when closed:


New ONT installed but red-light of death and Frank couldn't get it provisioned:


Frank decides to go to the SOHO (1500G) monster ONT which the original order was for. Removes 1000GT and installs mount for 1500:



New monster ONT closeup:


Red light of death on the new ONT as well:


New monster ONT after a couple phone calls and frank is able to get someone to fix the problem and ONT closed (service is up and running)


Pic of Frank who did an AWESOME job. I told him I was gonna post these pics to a forum and previously avoided taking any pics of him directly but he was ok with having his picture put up. This guy rocked hard:



Now for the first awesomeness of the new 150mbit package, latency. Here is a traceroute to two of my servers and quakelive L.A. server. Several showing under 3ms, just AWESOME!

I do think higher upload speeds might be possible as oddly latency was much higher while downloading than uploading. Pinging the gateway IP while down/uploading:

I find that normally higher latency is seen while uploading (not downloading) especially when the download is faster than upload...

Speedtest.net speedtests all over the U.S. Got very good speeds to a lot. San deigo always gave me bad upload even on bonding and speedtest.net applet not great for upload testing:

So jealous. At least I'm getting my 50/3 hooked up at the end of this billing period :D
 
Back to my serving hub hooking me up to GPON:
Need to find the techs who have been working on that GPON box and give them a few lashes each. That kind of sloppieness with the fiber jumpers will be a disaster to maintain in the future. Neatness counts, boys...
 
Makes my crappy UK ADSL connection look stupid I get about 11Mbps down and about 1Mbps up.
 
Makes my crappy UK ADSL connection look stupid I get about 11Mbps down and about 1Mbps up.

Haha- my thoughts exactly! 5Mbps down, 1Mbps up but we should be getting FTTC in 2012 so expect to be more like 30Mbps down (not sure what they're offering up yet?)
 
I need to show my installers a picture of that truck so they know what a nice/neat/clean truck looks like. They trash their vehicle
 
Need to find the techs who have been working on that GPON box and give them a few lashes each. That kind of sloppieness with the fiber jumpers will be a disaster to maintain in the future. Neatness counts, boys...

Not bad compared to some I've seen - I'll take a picture of one of our FTTH CO's and show you a fiber nightmare.

@houkouonchi - I'm assuming they're only using 1-16 splitters since you're getting 150/75 on a single ONT? It's also nice to see they are not grounding their ONT's either, our engineers recommend we don't as well.

I should post a picture of what shaw cable install usually looks like. Let me warn you, you will be shocked on how SHITTY the work is done, and how careless they are too....
 
Goddamn! I just got a boner. That's AWESOME. What's that for? Farmville load faster? ;)
 
@houkouonchi.
I looked at all your Speedtest.net tests. Chuckled when the last once was ran to Cocoa FL. I/The company I work for hosts that server. Good to see you got 70 down from it. Its only got a 100Mb/s port. As for the upload. Don't know what to tell you. :D
Awesome connection man, And a great write up.
 
Verizon is the shit when it comes to this... despite myself being moved from true Fiber (ONT in my old apartment) to my condo in which has VDSL (Fiber to the building and then distributed through cat 11) my service has been smooth. The one hiccup I had the guy came and fixed it right the first time.

I admit there is worse. Verizon should still do better. You don't lower your standards just because others don't know what they are doing.
 
Damn I wish I could get fiber to my house, that would be so awesome! I'm jealous! :D

Time to start a small collocation business. :D
 
I'm not really asking why, because the better question is why not in [H], but what are you doing at home to need that? I've got to where I keep high bandwidth stuff in a datacenter.

I have a server on dual 1000mbit connections in the DC as well. I also have a few machines in my own rack at home:



I use between 10-20TB/month of bandwidth at my home (most of it is outbound) so the connection is quite useful. It is very nice how well I can stream video (even a 20GB bluray rip) over my internet connection without any issues.

Yes those splitters only allow for 16 users each. Also they only had *one* other customer on GPON and were completely out of BPON capacity.

May I ask what everything in that rack is? Are those Norco cases?

Does your rack happen to be bolted down?
 
I think you may spend more on Bandwidth than I do on my house / car!

What exactly is it you host?
 
Figured I would post this here too. Just moved into a new place and am in the process of getting everything wired back in.

My "server closet" I live in a pretty small apartment so RF coverage is not an issue with the wap in the closet, and it keeps it out of the way. Still need to pick up a new 1" drill bit so I can route the cables through the wall into the closet, then through the bottom of the shelf.

Ammo! Probably not the place to discuss it but.... :)
 
Here is a post that I posted on dslreports a while back with some pictures of my FIOS upgrade from dual 35/35 to 150/75 for anyone who is interested. It took 6 months and probably about 30 hours on the phone with VZ to actually get this upgrade completed:

What does the service run per month?

I don't know, how much does that service cost?

How about just going @mrdudewhoposted, how much does that run per month? next time, and not quote 50 images. I'd have gladly been fine with one quoted image. ;) lol

EDIT: And kudos to Verizon for making it easy as shit to find their pricing on this stuff.

Dude, you can stop swinging your purse now. After I quoted it I went back and edited it. No sense is bringing all your drama in here. Save it for the women in the break room.
 
For business or residential? For business a 100/100 line would be about $2k here too.

We were quoted about $3k from AT&T for a burstable 100/100 fiber line. I guess it's not bad considering the area, we're pretty much on the edge of town.
