Cheaper internet, I found it… :)

I have canceled some streaming services that I was using in order to cut down on my data usage.  Netflix, unfortunately, is gone.  I didn’t use it a lot, maybe 2-3 times a month, but at 3-4GB per hour for … Continue reading →

Too much data…

Posted on September 27, 2018 by

As I have written, I canceled my satellite internet service that I had with Xplornet.  It was OK in the second half of August, the delays were tolerable if not irritating.  It was a bit slow, again due to latency … Continue reading →

Well, my plan to help out my friend with her dog has hit a snag. I checked with the property management company and I’m not allowed any additional dogs. I can’t say I’m surprised by this, who really wants more … Continue reading →

Internet and the weather…

Posted on September 14, 2018 by

I cancelled my main internet provider today. I’m inside the first month, so they have a money back guarantee. I’m pretty remote and this is satellite internet. In the second half of August, it was fine. Now that it’s September … Continue reading →

The electrician was at my place on Tuesday and did all of the work that he needed to do.  There were issues with many of the touch sensitive light switches so they were replaced with regular light switches.  A new … Continue reading →
