1 Developers,

3 As you know, my DSL link data corruption problem has been fixed. However,
4 additional steps are being taken to improve the quality of service you receive
5 from cvs.gentoo.org:
6
7 Today, my DSL Central Office -> ISP connection was moved to a new,
8 lightly loaded T1, restoring cvs.gentoo.org's download speeds to normal.
9 (I was getting about 1/2 download speed throughout the day)
10
11 Tomorrow, my DSL service is being upgraded to business class and
12 cvs.gentoo.org's upload speed will be doubled from 272Kbps to 544Kbps.
13
14 So, by tommorow, you should notice an effective doubling of cvs.gentoo.org's
15 bandwidth to the Internet.
16
17 Also, in the short term future:
18
19 My ISP will be upgrading their CO->ISP T1 to a DS3 which should almost
20 totally eliminate the slight DSL-related slowdowns we experience during
21 peak hours.
22
23 I will begin making plans to move some services to higher-bandwidth
24 locations on the Internet, as we have done with ibiblio.org.

26 Best Regards,
