Ahhh… Broadband.

Ah, yes.
Back to the good ol’ days. It’s weird. I had a cable modem back in ’99-2000, and then moved back to West Tennessee and had to settle for dial-up. The local phone company where I live has a monopoly on the lines, and is owned by the same people that own the cable company. Your options for Internet access here are:

1. Get Dial-Up (from any company, of course).
2. Pay ~$60 per month for DSL, provided by the local telco.

For a long, long time that price was outrageous – but then we got desperate. Since Christmas, we’ve signed up for and started using DSL. The one upside to the local telco DSL is that although you pay $60, they don’t put the caps on bandwidth like other, bigger telco’s often do. So I get (and yes, I seem to be getting) the full 1.4Mbps.

I still think I’d rather have cable. I’m not sure how that’s doing these days though. It’s been awhile.

In other news, I’m excited about installing/upgrading to WordPress 2.0, which I’ll be doing in my free time, within the next 72 hours or so. I’ll let you know how that goes.
Maybe.

The End.
