Title: ISP
Post by: mystic red on May 16, 2011, 05:44:33 PM: Cable dude came out today, buried about 200' of high vis, high freaking speed cable and hooked us up to the 21st century. We're blazing fast now.
Adios to old ISP, SkyNet, whose service ran from blazing fast to dial up speed. His mailbox was always full...complainers (like me) torching his phone lines...He never sent us a bill....Trudy always paid on time...then he'd try to tack on a late fee for non payment the next month.

So we went from 1.5Mbps (allegedly) to 5Mbps. Same price. No more waiting for YouTube vids to load....they just play, what a concept...viruses, no waiting....bam, they're on our computer.

(Are you sure you didn't mean fiber optic? ::)

It's SuddenLinks deal. The main office is somewhere in Texas but locally Osburn ID. I was going to bundle TV with it and get rid of Dish until she informed me they don't have high def yet, if that tells you anything.
