Surely don’t miss dial-up. Can still hear that sound from time to time in the back somewhere. Strange indeed.
I had hard-lined in via ATT for a while until a better hard-line deal came around. Then came the rural life. Somehow thought that I could swing back to hard-line with the landline but apparently the cutoff is rural. Prolly no infrastructure out here to support hard-line based internet so wireless... spit... it is.
Gotta dig deeper into that one and may have something to do with #8, I suspect.
I had Hughesnet SAT service for a few years until the electrical co-op got the lines run out here-Hughesnet was okay-but it went down every time it rained, etc. It was more expensive than what I’m paying for the co-op high-speed, too...
