Reconnected to the World

Comcast came yesterday (and since Cliff didn't move the TV in time Debby and I had the joy of moving that 200 pound beast from the old house to the new house. I was really grateful the guy didn't need to have it upstairs to finish the installation) and hooked up the internet to Cliff's computer. I called them today to find out when the router they were supposed to send me would arrive and they told me it wasn't ordered. Quality work people.

I'm not a patient person, and since I had to go to frys to return a video card anyway I picked up a router, and a wireless receiver for my computer in case we decided to move it to somewhere else in the house. It was very challenging, but I have internet on my computer! It only took 6 phone calls, an hour and a half talking to India, and half a bottle of rum turned daiquiris to keep me sane, but I have internet and a working wireless router. Oh the joys of outsourcing.

Cliff packed up the old house and did another huge load to the new house. He is a good man.

My great news for the day: Comcast rules! We were always having issues with u-verse and not getting the download speeds they promised us (we were paying for 18Mbps, most days barely pulling 8Mbps) but with comcast our service is GREAT!

I know you're jealous 

I have to be honest, I didn't even realize these speeds were possible without fancy equipment and lots of money.
