Uverse is Fiber...If you have a white box on the outside of your house and inside another white box with a back-up battery then you have Fiber... If it slow you most have a slow plain or you need to do a reset on your modem.. I have 18 and my speed is at 17 to 18..
And Java...
Holy crap. These software updates are getting to be as annoying as Windows.
updates are the best thing that can ever happen, except for Sony.
CCR, man
If you'd have used any other word but "credence" I'd have given your reply clearwater revival.

Beastly idea Old Boy. I like the USA, and Bob's Your Uncle!
Let's not drop another clanger, eh?
Jolly good job old chap!

Problems with updates
Whenever you have a problem with an update, the "people who know better" tell you that you should have backed everything up before updating. Yet there is no such warning with the updates.
The problems that I've had in the past are in syncing with Mobile Me, so I always back up my iCal and address book in addition to my iTunes library and library xml files before updating iTunes.
For OSX updates, I do all the above and run a Time Machine backup.
There's more to my ritual actually, but the point is that updates should not be assumed to be good. Often I will let updates sit for a while to ensure this sort of thing (quick succession updates) does not happen, but I am anxious to try out 4.3 so I may as well do it now.
I'm reluctant to do iTunes updates in general because aside from the sync corruptions they have also caused me to lose metadata in the past. Frequently, they have required long rewriting of the iTunes database which renders iTunes inoperable for quite a while upon restart.

I've always been pretty lucky in that regard. Can't remember an iTunes update ever causing me a noteworthy problem
Well actually, one time an additional column suddenly appeared in my library that couldn't be gotten rid of. Time Machine proved to be useful in that case.
have you now...
Same here...I've tried it both ways but the file is simply too large...it won't fit in my drive.
Time Warner is not capped. They tried to institute caps almost two years ago and had to completely walk it back because of the backlash.

The only way you're really "capped" is in the sense that if you max out your connection 24/7, you're going to have the plug pulled on you for overusage... but that's not exactly unique to any particular provider.
(At any rate, one 70mb program update isn't going to kill you, capped or not.)
Then you would love Windows ... there's an almost endless stream of "little something extras" for you to install.
April 16, 2009 your link..
August 10, 2009 my link...
Who you think I am going to believe....
It's great fun listening to all the complaints about internet speed. By the way... what in the world is a Mbps? Never heard of that before!
Here's what I got. If anyone wants to trade just give me a call...

woke this morning and installed itunes 10.2, backed up my itunes library to five 8.5 dvd's. Just about to shut my computer down for bed and ran software update and it shows I have a new itunes 10.2.1 waiting. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
If you had completely read your own link, you would notice that the source the authors used for their data on Time Warner's bandwidth cap proposal was dated March 31, 2009. Here, I'll even paste it for you.

OMG! I wonder how long it took for you to post that!
Well fine.. I really do not care seeing they are not in my area.. So I am sorry for the mistake tho.. So I guess there are only 3% that are cap free but there still 97% that do...

By tomorrow evening we'll be on 10.2.1.9 and hit 10.2.2 first thing the following am
It's all good... 0% are truly cap free... there's always a catch to paying $34.95 for internet access, even if most of us will never find out. I don't care either, I'm on Time Warner but since they don't have caps it obviously doesn't affect me either...
Uverse service is not necessarily fiber service... It can be either FTTN (Fiber to the Node) or FTTP (Fiber to the Premesis.) Most areas in the United States are FTTN which is a fiber conntection to a VRAD (Video Ready Access Device) located somewhere within 3000 feet of your house. FTTP was 1st generation service which brought a fiber drop to your house but this was deemed overkill as most customers do not require those types of speeds.
In a FTTN setting, the distance of your residence to the VRAD determines which profile you receive (32mb, 25mb, or 19mb.) IMHO, a 19mb profile isn't worth having. The best you will be able to receive is 1 HD stream and 3 SD streams.
The inside and outside boxes actually indicate that you have an iNID (Intelligent Network Interface Device) which uses two conventional copper telephone pair to transmit and receive versus the standard one pair. Having said that, you are on a FTTN network and unfortunately don't have a fiber drop to your residence.
