I am one of 30 system administrators for one of the largest Natural Gas Company in the US, about 12,000 employees.

I am primarily responsible for one of the five SCADA systems that we utilize. I also work with the other 29 system admins to maintain non-SCADA servers, the File & Print servers, the Domain controllers, IIS servers, Database servers etc. In all we have about 1400 servers.

If any one is interested in what a SCADA system is, I am willing to share.

[deakie]

of course you gotta share....start a new thread man.... ;D

[Ropy]

Lets launch a DOS attack on juba but not before he post some info on SCADA . :D

Ropy, you going to launch a DOS attack on his 3Mbps with your 56Kbps dialup ?? LOL ;D Watch your phone bill ;)

[Nastrodamus]

What would be funny is if he does suffer from a DOS attack. Even if Ropy is innocent is him do it. ;D

[Ropy]

But I thought we all were jealous of... >:( You guys are something else.

[tech_guru]

Now that would be a coincidence... ;D

I live in NY, I currently have dsl at 1500/128 for $30 a month with verizon, my friend down the street has cable at 10000/1000 for $50. My dsl sould be upgraded soon though for the same $30 a month.

[Chris]

Yeah? what speed are you upgrading to?

* Chris thinks to self ... this man just making us look bad down here :-\ *

[Greatis]

you know si mi tired a dem peeps who nuh live a ja deh show off pan wi. >:( >:(

[Ropy]

I can only imagine what one does with a 10mb connection. ::) I wonder how such peeps would feel if they had to resort to dial up for just 5mins. :D

[juba]

Ropy, I can tell you it’s not a nice feeling. I bought a house recently and the first thing I did before going house shopping was to get a map of where the local telephone company have their CO's (Central Office) and target my house shopping to those areas. I am spoiled stinking rotten.

Yes juba, some of that is done in Jamaica as well. I've known of persons taking the availability of ADSL into consideration before moving.

Persons Like yourself huh Chris.... ;D

[Chris]

Persons Like yourself huh Chris.... ;D

hehehe, not quite. Trust me, I had to wait for ADSL to come to me ;D

[Malloc-X]

u guys r so lucky, adsl is so expensive in jamaica, its not fair what u guys pay for broadband we have to pay dial up. I am curently on gotel 64Kbits

[juba]

What are the installation costs like?

Service activation is $50

Installation is free if you do it yourself

For telephone company tech to come and install is about $80

A lot of companies have promotions where all of the above are free.

Peeps out here have to pay US $250-450 to get Wireless Broadband or ADSL installed in there homes out here. The bad part is that you don't get to choose whether or not you get to install it yourself.

[sir_twEEkalot]

u guys r so luki i have no choice but dial-up :-[
it tuc me an hour to post this.

[pradere]
