And I can't get Fios. They won't wire a building in NYC unless the building guarantees x% will sign up.

Back when I got terminally fed up with Time Warner, I switched to Verizon "High Speed." I don't know how high the speed is because they refused to tell me. They'd say that I wouldn't notice slowdowns at popular times of day due to high volume on the line. I must have asked 5 times and got the same line each time. So I assume it's fairly low but I don't download a ton so I can tolerate it.

Can't you do a speed test to find out what your U/L-D/L% is??

Suuuuuuurrrrrrrreeeeee I can. Not.

Anyway, those are my only two options. At least Verizon doesn't make appointments with me for several days later, call the next day to confirm it and, when I'm not there (on a day I wasn't supposed to be there), cancel the appointment. Or make me wait for a week for a technician who says "the website where I can test the signal is down today and it's working fine. Goodbye." Then, 10 minutes later, when my modem went out again, I called to be told that the technician can't change it unless he sees it not working but I can take the modem to their service center and get a new one anytime. I spent a week with a modem that was dying of old age and waiting all day for the tech, and I could just bring it in? They're 7 blocks from me!

Sitting here with a huge glass of water, my delish blueberry cheesecake. Watching some horror movie on Netflix. Hubby needs to hurry home so we can watch Breaking Bad. We have 3 more to watch before Sunday!

I just caught up on Breaking Bad. I've always been caught up on Dexter, just can't get enough of it, but I dropped off on Breaking Bad two seasons ago. Now I'm back up to speed and boy did it get heavy. :)

No I'm debating if I should play a game of Civilization V or not. Such a fun game but man does it take forever to dominate the world.
Maybe I'll make a religion called Deejstuff and have the fire kitty spread it to all the other countries in the game. :evil::laugh:

You can do a speed test on a web site. I think it is speedtest.net. It can give you a rough estimate by pinging a server.

Hey all! Took my daughter for her 2 year well child visit, went to my hubby's company picnic, came home and relaxed for a bit, when out for dinner, and now here I am! :)

Sounds like you've had a mostly enjoyable day! :)


Okay... no way can a kitty be that tiny... must be Andre the Giant's hand...

I remember watching that when I was a kid. It was always the episode where the ghost lady was walking along side the road in the dark. Never failed! That's the only mystery I remember!


Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries, we look at the unexplained death of a thread...


:lol:

They tried to pull something similar on me. The building I live in the front 1/2 is a bar and th back half is split into 4 apartments. So when the guy came to hook up the FiOS he wanted to put the box in a "common area" so that others in the building could be hooked up as well.

I explained how the owner / landlord was not around and that I couldn't give him access or authorization to drill holes and mount equipment anywhere but my appartment.

Eventually he gave in and put the entire setup in my apartment. :laugh:
