Sigh...bandwidth...Great list there Eric!

abarbarian can you give the name of the little gem since I can't listen?

Heh! Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers --> http://lavaysmith.com/Lavay_Smith_%26_Her_...et_Lickers.html

There's a band name you don't easily forget.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

It's a Jazz song called Walk Right In, Walk Right Out - original artist unknown.

And when is your area going to come into the 21st Century when it comes to bandwidth?

[LilBambi]

Thanks Eric!

I wish I knew!!! $80/mo for 10GB and $10 per GB over that adds up...

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Who is your provider? GreedyNaziNet?

[LilBambi]

Verizon Wireless. And that's 'good' compared to the $120/mo we paid for 10GB total and so much per MB (yeah, megabyte) beyond that and had to switch between two devices during the month.

Could be worse, Eric. But by God, it could be a heck of a lot better too. If just one cable company would come into the area we could actually have some decent wired cable! Pipe dreams...

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Well, that's the price you pay for those quite evenings living in the backwoods instead of the noisy, smelly bustling big city.

[LilBambi]

Well, if it weren't a depressed area and I had to go out of the county to make any money, I might feel better about it.

It doesn't smell here Eric.  The only stench is the when our politicians get in front of the camera spewing their lies.  Illinois was just ranked as the 3rd worst state in the nation for politicians being convicted of crimes.  Including Rod Blagoyevich, we have had 4 governors convicted of various crimes receiving jail sentences.  Otherwise, the air is just fine here.

I see Eric gave you the name of the song. Missed your post as I'm having teething troubles with me new baby Arch. I'll swear it is harder to set up  this time  than on my first ever try a year ago, guess old age is catching up with me.  

Living in the deep country is always worth it even if it seems as though life is harder at times.

Illinois? Ain't that where the dead folks vote?

Yes, Eric gave it to me. Figured we likely were posting about the same time and you just missed it or something like that.

Hey maybe not, maybe they've changed some stuff in Arch to make it more interesting for you.

Yes, it is worth it living in the country. But this lack of a cable/wired option for Internet and it's more reasonable (relatively speaking) cost to this cellular Internet is so frustrating at times. There is no real reason for it. They are part of the that Rural Broadband Alliance or whatever they call it, and this is the only viable solution in this area. You would think that they would be required to provide it at a more reasonable fee...but I digress...

Illinois? Ain't that where the dead folks vote?

the democratic dead are encouraged to vote, and vote often, in almost all states!
and the live ones don't have to have any i.d. so they too can vote often!
all for a few dollars and a free bus or van ride to the polls.

corruption, if it wasn't so deadly, it would be hilarious.

This will cheer you up then

Pst do not tell Urmas but he really gets up my nose when he posts his internet speeds  

[LilBambi]

Gotta love the wonderful Internet options in Finland! They fortunately did something right for their people...unlike other countries...



I hear ya! I love it when Urmas posts his Internet speeds. Maybe it will shame the providers in this country.

Well one can always hope....

OK, since you asked so nicely.  

Would you be interested in mobile 3/4G broadband? Oh, you would? Here we go:



No data caps, monthly prices. Speeds are THEORETICAL maximum speeds -- I am using their slowest "L" service (came bundled [no extra cost] with my "fixed" internet connection), and the speeds I am getting with Huawei E367 dongle (no external antenna) are around 15 Mb/s.
