It's FUCKING unfair!!!

[April]

Terribly, horribly, fucking cruelly unfair.

One street over, they can get DSL. One street over! *whimper*

Fucking bastards! I want it!

Damn, and now my jaw hurts. And my throat feels funny.

Maybe it's for the best.

 

[lobito]

April, I sympathize with you, darling. they had DSL very close to me LONG before I coudl get it, Now I've had it for 1½years, and LOVE it!

 

[Thumper]

A solution

Go to the hardware store and buy several hundred feet of telephone wire and some pole climbing equipment...

Then in the dark of night...splice into your neighbor's lines...

RedNeck cable company procedures.

 

[April]

Thumper, if I could, I might do it. But most if not all utility lines are underground here.

At least it's progress. It used to be that no one in the village had it. So I just need to be patient a while longer. But still...it frustrates me to look at the house just behind me, knowing we share a driveway, and he has it and I don't.

ERGH!! (just for you, Xander, I know how much you like that)

A new Englander sollution..........

April. Go to the hardware store and buy several hundred feet of telephone cable. At night use your back hoe to dig a trench from your neighbors box connection to yours. Carefully avoiding any flowers beds. Lay the cable and back fill the hole. Spread some good lawn seed and re tar the section of road you tore up.

Hey April..if you do this make sure you wear a hard hat..Union rules.Any other clothing is optional and I am sure if we took a poll most here would prefer you ONLY wore the hard hat..and maybe your work boots

 

[Guest]

A hard hat and boots only? Holy shit! She'll freeze her nips right off! Not to mention other tender parts.

DSL is still the next county over from here.

Still sitting on 36.6k phone lines

 

[Thumper]

36.6 lines?

I thought they were wiped out with the dinosaurs when that big rock concert played the Yucatan 65 million years ago?

We'll let her wait until it is warm out when we watch her dig naked.

 

[April]

Warm? Here? Yeah, right.

Dig? Me? Yeah, right.



I'm really lucky if I can get 48,000bps on my modem. That's what it claims to connect at, but I know it varies wildly. I've checked it at a couple of sites that do that, and they tell me it goes from 33.6 all the way up to a grand speed of 42 or something. All I know is that I'm limited in the number of things I can do at once. Fucking frustrates me no end! Always multi tasking because it costs so much to be online. Gotta make the most of my time, you know.

Better yet, Thumper, I'll watch you dig naked while I enjoy a nice iced tea. I have some weeds that need to be pulled.

 

[Calamity Jane]

I'd kill for 33.6 lines. We're using carrier pigeons to transfer info. Sometimes the poor things die mid-flight, and i get bumped offline.

The phone company laughed... laughed when i asked if we were ever getting DSL!

Oh well, small price to pay to not have to lock my doors at night.

Anyone here have a sattelite connection? It's my only high speed option for the foreseeable future.

 

[April]

I am so desperate, I looked into satellite, but it's very expensive. Too expensive for me. I think about $2500.

 

[Thumper]

This wabbit

Doesn't pull weeds....

What he does pull.....we will leave that up for speculation.

 

[Calamity Jane]

it's cheaper than that here... we have a c-band sattelite, and i think the hook up and service will run about $600 for installation and an extra $70 a month. It's expensive, but it's the only choice.

 

[April]

PCG, if you need it, ya gotta get it. If I could afford it, I would. But I still have hope for DSL. Maybe, someday. If I could find the right person to bribe.


Thumper doesn't pull weeds, huh? What about hair?

 

[ShamelessFlirt]

They don't offer cable in your area?

This will keep ya busy -
