Thats right baby!!! They finally upgraded the CO in Smiths Grove and I am getting DSL.

It should be on by tomorrow assuming everything goes correctly. They have pretty decent deal for the first year. First month is free, next 12 are 34.95, free modem with a year contract. After that it jumps up to 49.95 a month which kinda sucks, but that is a year away and I can figure out what to do then.

Hopefully, this will mean that you might be able to call my now. Also with the way I have it setup it will allow everyone to be on the net at the same time, with the laptop and everything. I can't wait. It will be like living in the 21st century. To bad I am only 4 years late to get there.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

So the guy checked the line today and we are 3.1 miles from the CO. Standard Distance that they can get the signal out to is 3 miles. They are going to check it and see if they can cut out some of the extra distance, but I don't think it is going to happen. This is the exact same crap that happened to when he moved. ARGGGGGGGH!!!!!
