Re: system was running at 6-10 per cent of operating reserve ratio.
"On an unrelated note, does anyone know why a cable modem needs to take 15 minutes to reboot?"
Absolutely not an expert in this area, but I think they (and DSL kit) need that time to analyse the line and the signal so they can optimise the transmit/receive parameters and get the best speed. No need for that when we were only stuffing 300 bps down the line :)
