And I got all these fucking rednecks outside stringing and burying fiber-optic lines. Apparently one of the local telcos is bringing a cheaper alternaive to the shit cable tv they have here now, AND stringing it all over the county. It's a very rural county, total population maybe 7,000. The local rednecks are even gonna get DSL if they want it. Even in the outlying parts of the county. Dunno what kinda cable theyre bringing but I asked one of the guys installing the lines what kinda price and speeds for the DSL. $50 a month and 750k/downstream. Hmmm that might be a bargain for the uninformed that only have ever had dialup, but im sure most of the fish will go fit it cause that blazing fast for someones whos never had cable OR DSL. I told the guy I already get 1500 downstream and 250 up cheaper than that. He just kinda looked at me and said I was lucky lol As far as the cable tv goes, I forgot to ask him if theyre gonna offer cable modems, but I doubt it. Besides, my DSL contract isnt up till October and my DirecTv isnt up till January.
Oh yeah Click my sig
