The guys came to set up my high speed internet during the middle of last week, but I didn’t have a chance to set it up until last night… and boy, is it fast! This is great!

I just read on Digg and Slashdot the other day that Comcast just came out with 50 Mbps fiber optic internet (which of course includes Comcast’s speed throttling and download capping, as well as having all of your internet activity dutifully reported to Mr. Bush) for about $150. And I’m paying less than half that price for more than twice the service. Huh.

America really seems like the place to be when you live there, but man… as far as internet and cellphone services are concerned, the US is in the stone age. Everyone’s phones interfere with nearby speakers, and of course are slow as hell and generally pretty ugly. Our internet is overpriced, underpowered, and really just a spy tool for the president… In any case, I’m glad to be living in a much more technologically advanced country.
