In utah, I can average 80 mph on a road trip, in the houston texas area I can go maybe 20 mph average, so time is a lot more useful of a measure.

My parents’ isp setup a static dhcp entry per customer. If you change the mac address of your router you don’t get an address. The address you get with the proper mac address is constant and can’t be changed.
