You would only need one t1 for a web board like this though. I don't think that it has that much badnwith going through it at one time to really bog it down. Just a thought though.:rolleyes:

One of the L's is silent too. I can never remember which one. Marks me as a real outsider around these parts.

i always wondered why it starts with an l because most people pronounce it as elinoi.

You would be wrong. We actually use tons of bandwidth, because of the avs and attachments.

Thats a funny thing, I never really thought of the avitars using much bandwith, also it makes sense that all those attachments do have to come in through the line at some time. But I just thought that 1 t1 would cover the bandwith.
If I had my way then this site would have multiple ones, maybe a t3 or something because it is so popular. Some day, some day.;)
1 t3 is way more then 2 t1's.

The cost was $3000 per month for the dual lines. I think Skip said we were using about 70% of the total bandwidth. That would be all of one T1 and about a 1/3 plus of the 2nd. There are also some other sites that Skip was hosting, I do not know if he still is.
And it is pronounced Ill-in-oy, no matter how much the Chicago(another state) people mispronounce it.
3000 a month??? jeez broadband is freakin expensive in chicago.
i know a T1 line here in oklahoma city is about 850 a month and two is 1500 a month.

And it is pronounced Ill-in-oy, no matter how much the Chicago(another state) people mispronounce it.Being from Wisconsin, I know the 'proper' way to pronounce it. Just put these two words together:
"ILL" + "Annoy"
Quite appropriate--wouldn't you agree?
Gee, I had no idea I was so close to these guys! After hearing about Ed and Joe being in NYC all the time, like living there and stuff, well, I just assumed that's where the whole shebang was.
Being from NW IN, I can give you guys a few more odd place-name pronounciations...
Hobart = Ho-bert
Merrillville = Mer-vil -or- Mer-i-vil
Schererville = Share-vil
East Chicago = Eesh-i-ca-go -or- E. C.
Hammond = Hammen
Indianapolis = Natives without red fruit

I think Skip works with Computers for a living anyway. The advertising brings in some money each month, but not much. And I think Joe and Ed will also contribute to site running costs.
