internet

[bertine]

so comcast bought out road runner a while back, which really didn't change anything except my ip. now it looks like they are raising the price of internet-only service from $45 to $60 a month (and they will start charging for this crappy cable modem). i started to look at other services but it looks like a land line, dsl and internet service would be even more than $60 a month. i guess i didn't realize that my internet was actually cheaper than anything out there.

oh, another option is to get "basic" cable which with the cable internet would also be $60. it would be nice to be able to watch heroes without standing next to the tv holding the antenna up. i have to converse with Eric over this.

Update:
So it looks like we are going with the internet + basic cable. while we are at it we are going to move about routers, the mp3 server and other stuff.




this feels like a boring post, BUT I DON'T CARE

actually i tried it, i didn't get any cable or anything. maybe i'll try again, though i have to find a long cable again.

clearwire? if it is the wireless broadband place, i just looked up and no, they aren't here. :( feh, it is pricy but it isn't like i am going to live without it.

I think it is hysterical Clearwire bills it as wireless. The modem plugs in to your home electrical system.. so it really isn't wireless. That's funny.
