Yesterday we noticed that Teddy was feeling lethargic and didn’t have an appetite. Today he was throwing up from both ends, and was clearly very sick. I took him into the Veterinarian today and they’re concerned. He’ll be spending the day there and getting an IV, x-ray, and some TLC. We don’t know what’s wrong with him. He’s only five months old!
Just upgraded to a business account with Comcast for my home internet (around $90 per month). I went with a business account because the upload speeds are faster and I get static IPs with it. They also have a promotion going now so the install was free and the monthly cost is reduced. I did have to sign a two year contract, but that’s okay.
With DSL, I was getting about 4800kb/s down and 600kb/s up. This was as fast as DSL would go with AT&T unless I switched to U-Verse. But I didn’t want U-Verse. The TV channels and DVR don’t meet my needs (missing HD channels and only 1 HD channel at a time) and the DSL is only marginally faster. Plus I haven’t heard great things about it.
With my freshly installed Comcast cable I’m getting, wait for it, 17500kb/s down and 2700kb/s up! Holy cow poo! They promise 16000kb down and 2000kb up and to my surprise it actually seems to be faster. I haven’t hooked it up to my network yet, but that’s what the installers speed report said on his laptop. I’ll let you know how fast it is according to www.dslreports.com when I hook up the LAN to it.
I can’t believe how fast this is. And because I’ve switched to Vonage for my home phone, Comcast + Vonage is much cheaper than ATT DSL + Phone. And the speeds are a bit mind boggling.
Here is my DSL speed report:
Why? One word. Man babies. Ok, that’s two. Leave me alone, I’m grumpy.
