I think they may have (Finally!) ran digital cable down my street!
I just saw the cable trucks running new line and I know I our street was on the list for the upgrade.

Do you know what this means?

Cable internet connection! :bounce:

I will once again be connected to at a speed of 1.5 Mbps/256 Kbps, instead of the current 28.8 - 45.2 (It's like living in the 90's!) that my phone lines support.

I'm calling the office in the morning to find out for sure. Oh, please, please, let it be so!

10. To think I may actually be able to download things again...


I had WiFi for a while but due to the distance I was from the nearest tower and all of the trees here, it was set up on a poll that was like 75' tall. It was a beacon whenever we had a lightening storm.

9. "Do you know what this means?"
It truly means they can Hoover the contents out of your bank account. On a monthly basis. :P

11. It's not too expensive
$42.95 a month. I know that's not cheap but it's way cheaper than I paid for the WiFi I used to have.
