Before this you thought every one of my web sites were broken.  You need a new ISP, Gangles.

I run off of Dark Fiber from a university with 20Mbps down, you try finding that for cheap.

I don't know, a lot of stuff is fucked up with my connection...

Dark fiber  means fiber that's not used by anybody. So there's no light going through it hence the name.  So yourconnection can't be "dark fiber".

I try not to be the politically incorrect one, but that' is the "terminology" they give to it... not me.

Why they call it that is beyond me ???

The connection is through OARnet which ties into MAE-East.

"Dark fiber refers to unused fiber-optic cable. Often times companies lay more lines than what's needed in order to curb costs of having to do it again and again. The dark strands can be leased to individuals or other companies who want to establish optical connections among their own locations.
In this case, the fiber is neither controlled by nor connected to the phone company. Instead, the company or individual provides the necessary components to make it functional."


Soo...  it was probably dark at one point,  maybe they kept the name because it makes it sound like you are getting something special.
