I’m about to have to get Comcast. I’m paying 80.00 a month for Gigabit internet, when I move I’ll be paying 115 for 100 megabit. GG Comcast.

@scott.archer Watch out for their bandwidth caps -- I have to pay $50/month extra for unlimited bandwidth (because I work from home).

They've recently boosted our speeds to 150Mbps for the same price tho'...

I pay an extra $25.00 a month for unlimited on Comcast.

I got burned by that a lot back when they had the 300 megabit limit.

Looks like I'm getting 160Mbps down at the moment (yay!).

300 gigabyte limit sorry. My family currently uses 1.5 tb per month, so I had to go with unlimited.

I'm at 806 down 200 up right now. As of next week it'll be 100 up 100 down best case scenario.

A local company is installing fiber, so I hope to be back on gigabit in six months or so.

Yeah, I'm waiting for AT&T to get fiber to my neighborhood. They're close. They'll be here before Comcast gets 1GB to my house.

AT&T is great, that's what I have now.

Good price, the service is excellent.

My 2cents - all these IPs suck, but Comcast definitely sucks more than the others

Thanks. Bear in mind it's already 9:30pm on the West Coast so you may not get much response until maybe the Europeans come online (in a few hours). But there might be some night owls around too...

Oh, my apologies @punit-naik -- you're asking about a Clojure library there? I missed that, sorry. Still... does seem pretty esoteric... I just looked to see if there's a channel specific to Amazonica. But it seems not 😞

Yeah, before posting the question I looked for the amazonica channel as well. Is this a right channel to ask these sort of questions?

I don't know where you'll find the greatest number of Amazonica users here... So now I'm trying to make amends by looking at that library to see if I can help you 🙂

Okay. Thanks 😄

That is an interesting library... first time I've looked at it... so it turns all the Java library methods into top-level Clojure functions automatically... cool!

I'm not particularly familiar with AWS stuff at that level but I think you need to tie the zone to a VPC at creation?

OK, looks like :hosted-zone-config {:comment "some string", :private-zone true} would be needed... and maybe :vpc {:vpc-id "...", :vpc-region "..."} as well? Does that sound at all helpful @punit-naik?

(I don't have an AWS account to test anything on, so I'm kinda guessing the mapping between Clojure data structures and AmazonRoute53Client parameters)

I think I had tried this but I will try it again. Maybe my param name was wrong.

Amazon docs seem to suck. Or is that just me?

Indeed it does.

I started with what I thought was the Java SDK docs and quickly found myself in the .NET docs and C# code... my next try directed me into the XML for the REST API 👀

Done Used the following function with params -> (create-hosted-zone :name "" :caller-reference (str (java.util.UUID/randomUUID)) :hosted-zone-config {:private-zone true} :vpc {:vpc-id "vpc-68c4c011" :vpc-region "us-west-2"})

Yay!

@seancorfield Thanks for your help!

And I learned a bunch in trying to help you -- thank you!

And, again, sorry for trying to shoo you off to another channel... 😞

No an issue at all. Solved my problem, that is what matters.

>300 gigabyte limit sorry. My family currently uses 1.5 tb per month, so I had to go with unlimited. this shit from ISPs drives me freaking nuts. Sure 300gb might have been acceptable 10+ years ago. But now every page on the internet has an autoplay HD video so it's easy to go through 10gb before breakfast. I've been having a bunch of internet trouble since moving and i'm basically running a couple of 4g sims so I've been conscious of our data consumption. Even though we're trying to be conservative it's easy to pull 10gb/day without even realizing it.

and we're only 2 people

o_O. 10gb/day sounds very impressive

one hour on 1080p from netflix is approx. 2.5 GB. So one movie is like 5 GB. Given you have more members in your household that watch stuff (youtube, twitch, whatever). Plus music is played solely via spotify at our place + downloads + backups into the internet of our photos etc I think 10GB / day will be the norm soon for a family or maybe even is already.

At home I use my mobile only with tethering, so I have 8gb limit a month from my mobile plan. It works for me. I download all my big stuff elsewhere.

The fact that I CAN'T watch netflix is not a bug, it's a feature

> o_O. 10gb/day sounds very impressive Everything is HD video now plus everything helpfully autoupdates to the latest version, which is helpfully only 5gb.

My guess is 10gb/day is on the low side for a family with teenagers.

Any suggestions for good html rendering/templating library for clojurescript?

Comcast used to estimate that an "average" household (2 adults, 2 kids) with streaming movies would run about 400-450GB a month, as I recall. I was running around 1.5TB a month before they pinged me about bandwidth (the $50/month for unlimited). Part of that was running cloud backup software on three computers here, in addition to streaming nearly all TV all day every day, plus heavy Internet browsing -- plus my actual work! 🙂

No such thing as bandwidth limits over here I think.

We can also have 10 Gbits/s for $30/month now :) (up to 100 Gbits/s for households)

@seancorfield im like you, except no kids. I think ideally if I have to have a cap it would be around 600GB to be comfortable.

(I have no kids either... just cats)

I have a script logining into comcast's website and finding out what they think my bandwidth usage is every 15 minutes or so, and I do my best to hit the 1tb limit every month without going over

ohh sorry misread what you said there

I think the last two months I hit 1023gb

impressive

you could always have those requests send some extra crap to both troll comcast and really fill out that extra bandwidth

My last three months (Mar-May): 1,265 GB, 1,432 GB, 1,547 GB. So, over 1TB every month!

I've used 267GB so far this month (in less than a week!).

those should be TB then?

or were you out of town

@dpsutton Oops, yeah, I started to write them as GB numbers but then put . instead of , in them!

Fixed 🙂

As a european, thats confusing 😄

Or a german, for me you used 1 GB and 265 MB in March

@sveri im in europe (france specifically) and I'm having a terrible time with internet 😞.... best I can get is DSL and apparently rogue phone companies disconnect me and then bouygues canceled my account instead of fixing it....

so now im just using 4g cards cause it's faster and nobody can disconnect me by accident

i have never in my life had a good experience with DSL...it's the worst, bar none.

I would rather have dialup

my favorite DSL thing is when you get like 800kbps and the phone company spends a month trying to diagnose it and then tells you it's the wiring in your building and then does nothing about it.

cable is infinitely better than dsl, too bad it was never adopted in France at least

(i am super salty about dsl right now because the wounds are fresh haha)

I have fibre in my new home, our provider (Telekom) send a technician who installed the cable himself from the bottom to our apartment. It's pretty stable, cannot complain. I pay 50€ for 200 MB down and 50 up. Landline included. It's almost expansive for Germany, but ok.

yeah fibre would be the best but my building doesnt have it yet unfortunately 😞
