My Internet May be Down

[Bina]

.....after 11 yrs with the same ISP, they are closing down the Eastern Ontario hook up that I am using. Lovely.
No need to worry if I am invisible for a day or two.
Tuesday or Wednesday I am trying to get connected to another ISP to be back up and running.

Did you steal that ship like I said and go out on the ocean, cut the fiber cable and hook into it?
You need a connection at least this fast--

Ross, quit yer braggin'......high speed will have to wait until summer when we can shovel out.
Today I am at 28.8 kbps

Yeah you'll be coming to me from SatStar2 soon huh?

Yep, in the summer we will go satellite with Xplornet.com
Dish is about $300-400 plus installation, cables, etc.
Monthly fee will be $55.00

For the interim I'm stuck on $23 dial up.....with a second phone line.
