Verizon FiOS Coming Soon
I just got a notice today that Verizon is going to be wiring the property I live on with FiOS over the next 3 months so I guess I’ll be able to get FiOS in about 3 months. Yay! We have a bulk deal with Time Warner Cable so I get discounted cable; hopefully we’ll get a similar deal with Verizon as well.
Broadband Competition is Good!
Okay so where I live, I basically only have 2 options for broadband Internet service - Verizon DSL or Road Runner cable. I’ve obviously opted for the higher speeds and better reliability and switched to RR (resold through Earthlink, slightly cheaper and doesn’t require cable TV service). Verizon FiOS is being deployed in Queens slowly and it’s not available at my home yet (they literally connect fiber to each home). I’ve been itching to switch to FiOS because they give you tremendous bandwidth for around the same price (a bit more). So I was looking up information on when FiOS might be available in my area and was browsing the forums over at broadbandreports.com. That’s where I came upon some interesting news regarding Road Runner.
Wow, It Has Been HOT
I don’t think I can stand this heat wave much longer. Oh wait, yes I can, thanks to the AC in my room. Then I read some article about how AC makes people fatter. Don’t know if it’s actually true but I guess it kind of makes sense. If you’re indoors enjoying AC the whole summer, you’re not outside sweating your ass off. No sweat means you’re not burning calories. No burned calories means more fat deposits. Yup, there you go. Anyway, I was outside today to run errands and man the few moments walking from my car to buildings was unbearable. I felt like passing out.
