Do you even know what a T1 is?

A T1 is 1.5Mbps, slow compared to what is available for home use for a fraction of the cost.

Don't you get a joke?

I thought you were serious.

So anyhow, how about fibre optics? Have you heard of that where you live? What kind of "hiccups" are you referring to?

Yes, I used to have Fiber, I have 1Gbit now, nearly the best you can get for a home and I wouldn't host a witness or full node on it due to reliability.

What reliability issues? Power outage is the most common, bad weather and we lose power. This typically happens 2-6 times every winter.

ISP issues, this usually happens once and a while, not too often but sometimes. Again, any problem and the node requires 3-4 days to replay and will be down for this entire time.

My God, I'm appalled at your remarks, your negativism, and total lack of cooperative attitude. Simply stunned! Instead of snide, discouraging remarks, how about something constructive, like, for example, some specific specifications you might recommend?

Seriously?

You got all that from me making a very factual and accurate observation.

I did, not home service. It's pretty simple and easy to understand and well known in the witness community. Home Internet is unreliable Home providers are low priority for carriers and most homes don't have reliable power and back up power. Add in the fact home workstations are not as reliable as server class hardware.

You seem to be really bothered about all this.
