Here is a ps1 script that takes the interface name, the ip to route and the ipmask and routes an ip trough a interface. It can be a vpn or a normal network card. It utilizes route.exe for route adding and .net for NIC IP determination. It also deletes a route. param( [string] $InterfaceName = "Grupo Visabeira", [string] $IP2Route = "192.168.3.138", [string] $IPMask = "255.255.255.255", [SWITCH] $Delete) #$delete = $true IF ($Delete){ $local:res = route delete $IP2Route IF ($local:res -match 'OK!'){"Route $IP2Route Deleted"} ELSE{"Error Deleting $IP2Route: $local:res"} }else{ [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Net") | Out-Null $local:nic = [system.net.networkinformation.networkinterface]::GetAllNetworkInterfaces()|Where-Object {$_.name -eq $InterfaceName} if ($local:nic.OperationalStatus -eq 'Up') { $local:interfaceIP = ($local:nic.GetIPProperties().unicastaddresses|where {$_.ipv4Mask -ne '0.0.0.0'}).Address.IPAddressToString if ($local:interfaceIP) { $local:res = route add $IP2Route MASK $IPMask $interfaceIP IF ($local:res -match 'OK!'){"Interface [$InterfaceName] Connected and Route $IP2Route Added"} ELSE{"Error Adding $IP2Route in Interface $InterfaceName : $local:err"} } }else{"Network Interface [$InterfaceName] Not Connected"} } Hi.

Why I typed that? Because I was extremely pissed of with this guys and looking for an alternative. Here is my review about Cable One. 1. Their server is overloaded. I frequently get drops. 2. I do not even need to mention about their speed tapping policy, outrageous at best 3. They monitor the web sites that you visit. That is unacceptable. 4. Idaho Falls headquarter is filled with uneducated and rude folks. 5. And, many many more that I cannot recall right now. What is the solution. Lucky, I made some research. I found cheaper service($35) with faster speed (12 Mpbs) and no tapping. Since I was ready to spend $50 for 10 Mpbs, I am seriously considering to get 20 Mpbs for $55 from Quest. If anybody out there considering Cable One, Here is my advice. " Stay away Cable One at all cost". Otherwise, you will be sorry for sure. that is my experience.

I had to buy a new 360, as the disc drive on mine had gone caput. I had somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5 gigs of DLC on my old one, and I downloaded it all at once, and I've been getting ~45KB/s down ever since. It hasn't reset yet, either. I downloaded it earlier today, and it's currently 3 AM and I'm still not getting it. And to add insult to injury, I now cannot connect to XBL. Gonna make the switch ASAP.

I can't get 12MB (if I could, I woulda switched long ago) but CableOne is really pissing me off. Mainly, it's the bandwitdh caps I hate. If you download more than 2 gigs between the hours of 12pm and midnight, the cut your speed in half. I want to get into the OnDemand stuff from DirecTV, and needless to say, I watch the majority of my TV between their monitoring hours. Screw 'em. I think you convinced me. I slight cut in speed (from 10 to 7MB) will probably be worth the non-monitored/capped bandwidth. I’ve been considering the switch for a while now.
