Boomer never needs words to communicate EXACTLY how he's feeling and what he's thinking.

Oh wow, I hope the internet works out really well! That would be awesome and even somewhat life changing.

Considering hubby is thinking about doing consultant work after he retires in about 4 years, having good Internet is really vital to those plans. We've got all fingers and toes crossed this works!

Boom really is a master communicator. *g*

Boom certainly knows how to find the comfy spots. *g*

I told hubby last night that our current "high speed" internet might as well connect each time with the modem noises. *eye roll* We're really hoping that a) the equipment arrives sooner rather than later, and b) the connection works once the equipment is set up. *crossing fingers so hard my knuckles are turning white*

I use a mobile WiFi hotspot, rather than a landline. There's been no problem since I upgraded my data limit.

Our mobile hotspots aren't much faster. Rural Internet in the US is still in the dark ages.

I've found yaktraks to be slippery on ice. A friend recommended a different brand for ice, but I'm forgetting what they were called just now. Yak Tracks are wonderful on packed snow, though. Just not on our glare ice.

I'll be totally envious of your internet speed. Testing our speed must now, I'm getting around 6.4 for upload and 31.2 for download. Not horrible, but could be better.

I've yet to have any issues on ice with Yaktrax, but I'm sure there are a lot of different types out there that suit each particular situation best.

We'd be thrilled with 31.2 download. We're paying for 20, rarely get 10. We're not happy campers.
