Im getting fiber internet!!

Yall thought I was a luddite and would stick to my DSL didnt ya?

 

Will it work with your Nokia flip phone?

 

You know how hard it was for me to find a new flip phone recently???? Talk about pain in the ass!

 

They were going full speed ahead installing fiber in the city I live in, plus a couple of the neighboring cities when suddenly about every corner you went around had utility trucks working and then articles in the newspaper that they were hitting water and sewer lines while boring to run the cables. All of the permits were pulled until they rectify the issue. I know that they marked the utilities by my house about 3 weeks prior to them boring. I said when they were doing it that they must really have great operators and equipment if they are not hitting anything where most of the underground is at least 30 years old.

I am looking forward to having better internet, and not having to deal with Spectrum's no customer service.

 

My future provider seems to think the users cant buy a fiber modem. Dunno but its going to be cheaper than my dsl even renting the modem part

 

Your phone updates will be faster too!!!!

Daves going to develop arm pump, but only in one arm.

 

I've had AT&T Fiber for a while now, and it has been great. 0.5GB up/down for $35/mon is fantastic.

AFAIK, you cannot buy a personal fiber gateaway. AT&T doesn't have a hardware charge, at least in my case they do not.

When needed, I can upgrade to a full 5GB up/down with no physical changes whatsoever - just the higher bill.

And I thought I was Joe Cool back in the mid 90's, with my second analog line dedicated to my blazing hot 53K V.92 modem.

 

AT&T Fiber here too. About 2 years. Has been great. Probably overkill considering I don't have several devices/people here running at the same time. Price went up. It's about $80/mo. Not great, not terrible.

 

There is a bit of grumbling about getting fiber out my way, but I can't see it happening. Who knows with all the city folk moving out here pissing and moaning they don't have highspeed internet, it just might happen. Have Starlink now, and it's the best we've ever had. Expensive though. Fiber would be great, but would just bring more city folk.

 

Good. Your old carcass needs some fiber I'm sure.

 

Guy at work dubbed fiber the "porno pipeline"

 

Where was that saying back in the 90's when we all got dialup. Titties, line, by, line.

 

American XXXtacy over satellite in the 80s

 

Pfft.

Dual channel ISDN FTW!

 

128K until the phone rings!

 

They are using carbon fiber in place of everything metal these days, aren't they? I bet you'll have the strongest internet available these days!

 

Not only that, but you connect to it with a cable that uses stealth technology - it is invisible to the naked eye!

 

I have a VPN for that

 

I’m getting fiber myalgia!
