Would all of you mind voting for my step daughters rat of a dog Hamhock in some contest she's entered? She thinks she's going to wind money on this, so I'm out campaigning.

I've got AT&T on the cell and can plug my phone into the laptop to get online like an aircard. Problem is, we don't live close enough to the big city to get the good speeds on the cell connection. It usually will connect at around 150 at my house, but it's had some issues too. I just wish there was some competition out here.
The local phone company has plans to upgrade things and offer dsl to us, but they've had those plans for about 5 years and still don't have any idea when they will actually get started implementing them. Too bad since they offer 3 times the connection speed for half the price.
21 year old phone lines sound new. These phone lines are the same ones they used when everyone still had here a party line.

I've used all of them except for LEW. The LH Dottie line was nice. They had a mushroom head self tapping screw that was great. When my local supplier said that they weren't going to carry Dottie anymore I grabbed all that they had. The NSI blocks are great for making motor connections, I never use burndys and rubber tape anymore.

That's pretty cool Jim. LEW does mostly in-floor boxes and covers.

I need a new friggin internet connection. I just did a speed test and it came back at a whopping 12 kbps. This is back where I was when I was on dial up. The town I live near got a state grant several years ago and put up a tower, that if you could see it from your roof, you could get high speed internet. Well so-called high speed anyway. It's rated at 768 and they charge $30/mo. We've been thinking about upgrading to the 1.5 service for $50/month. It works pretty well when it works, on days like today it absolutely sucks.
Problem is, the phone lines to my house (for several miles) are too old to carry any dial up connection faster than about 22kbpa, with typical connection speeds of 12-15. A true 56k modem would seem fast right now. No cable, no DSL, no fiber optic, no other choices.
I figured I'd complain here since there's a good chance this post won't make it all the way through. Either that or the dropped connection will end up in me posting this 5 times in a row. Of course 5 times in a row for me right now will leave plenty of time for others to post in the thread so at least my duplicates won't be back to back.
Oh, and the weather is awful today, so my other options of things to do are kind of limited.
