What's NOT bugging you? (2020s edition)

[GAME05]

Yah, getting 1G Spectrum internet on Saturday. They were trenching across the street a couple days ago. The salesman showed up yesterday and said he had to sell 17 houses per month or he loses his job.

Brightspeed had done 3mb for a while and then they just dropped service. Elon Musk had a lot of tree coverage so only got me maybe 3mb. Living in the middle of nowhere (though not quite AKCheesehead nowhere) sure makes fast internet nice. Time to stream some baseball and connect to people via Playstation.

 

Also apparently I say a half-hearted/monotone/sarcastic "Yay" a lot, but it doesn't bug me because if I have to have a 'thing,' that's not too bad.

I'd be happy if my provider would just upgrade the highspeed offering from 10MB to like 25MB. Generally 10 MB is enough, but I can't stream and be on Brewerfan at the same time since the dumb adds use that much bandwidth

I work from home and frequently need to push web application deployments to our IaaS in the cloud.  The 10MB upload speed is very slow.

So, I'll go from 500 down / 10 up to 1G up / down asynchronous.  It will be cheaper even after the 1-year incentive comes off the books.  It seems too good to be true.

Minecraft server in the works?  😄

I wish there was a way to get fiber but not have to drill a hole in your wall.  I rent, so I'm stuck with either cable (pre-wired) or 5G cellular (and living in a densely populated area, cellular probably isn't going to be very reliable for higher speeds).

If your place still has coax then you can do moca.
