I am going to get high speed internet in a few hours

[mercuryblues]

Unlimited bytes, fiber optics. The whole 9 yards. Quite the step up from hughes . nets satellite version of highspeed, limited bytes. With them, watch a video and you are slowed down for the rest of the day. Forget live streaming.

So, please post all those funny or must see videos I have been missing out on!

1. We've all been screwing with you.

There are no “funny or must see videos”.
We’ve just been trying to make you jealous. We’re sorry.

4. You mean the Eaglets live cam is...fake news?

My son told me the high speed would be life altering. Just never expected I would find out the internet has been lying to me all these years. Is trump really presidunce?

[ret5hd]

11. Yeaaaahhhh...man, how do I say this?

Your son was in on it too. He laughed, but he looked really guilty doing it.

5. Just in time to see the

demise of Democracy, live and in 1080hd..

2. Don't break the speed limit!!!

3. Here is a whole web site full of must-see movies

See CriterionChannel.com. It is a subscription service, and very worthwhile. It has lots of classics available all the time, and frequently brings in other movies for a limited time. Some of the movies they have are classics such as "The Seventh Seal", "Seven Samurai", "Rashomon", "8 and a half" (not sure how to create the 1/2 symbol here) and many many others.

6. Google...ISP throttle

What is the actual speed of your wireless?..
Download something like SpeedNet

[mercuryblues]

10. I did that last week

download speed...14.02 mbps and upload. 1.7 mbps. Only 1 person can be on the internet at once or even those speeds drop.

7. Enjoy it while you can...

8. You'll be able to read DU much faster

[mercuryblues]

13. I know.

at the rate I read, I should be done reading the internet in about 40 years.

9. My neighborhood started our own PUD to bring in a fiber line

CenturyLink will be history. I'm looking forward to that 1G speed. It can't come fast enough.

12. Shit, I remember the only internet service you could get was by telephone linkage

No videos, nothing except the basic internet. I forget the speed but it was monsterly slow.

16. When my aunt would send me an e-mail with pic attatchements....

I could get a lot of housework done while it downloaded.

14. Still on Hughesnet myself :(

I wish there was another option I go over the datacaps every month and spend way too much on tokens.

[mercuryblues]

17. Call and ask for free tokens

Most of the time they would give the to me. IOW they know their service sucks.

I am an early riser, so most of my videos and downloads were accessed before 8Am, when it was free data usage.

15. Are you in the Northeast? nt.

[mercuryblues]

18. No.

rural south. Hughes net was the only internet provider to choose from, until last year. But I was under contract with them. I still have 2 months before it is up, but it is worth it to change over early.
