I do not like my cable TV provider. They're obnoxious and charge too much for what they provide. Unfortunately, they have had the fastest internet service out this way for a long time. I, on the other hand, haven't succumbed to their enticements, mostly because they were too expensive. I figured if you can provide a gazillion bits per second as a matter of course, you shouldn't put an exorbitant charge on it just because you can.

So, I bided my time with DSL that ran at 56K at my house.

Wireless broadband that ran a lot of time at 56K at my house.

Since I won't be going back to long haul truck driving, I finally, almost gave into speed. Fortunately for me, I plugged the DSL into my laptop.

WOW!

I can watch YouTube videos. I can watch CNN news videos. Downloads that used to takes minutes now take seconds.

It's still not as fast as my cable TV provider, but it's certainly as fast as I need to go.
