Meh, we pay $50/mo for "up to" 30 MB w/AT&T's DSL, and it drops out with alarming regularity, plus they make you rent their crappy "portal" device as a router.
I pay $56 for 5MB wireless. When the tower that supplies us went out it took them TEN AND A HALF FUCKING DAYS to fix it. I'm trying to move back to Austin for a while before trying to get to Oregon. Or Colorado. ATT offers 10MB for us poorz for $10 and Google fiber there is free if you pay $300 for their router.
Super fast internet is super cheap in Japan, Korea, and France I hear.
yeah, this is a big country with a lot of regional fuck ups. By me, AT&T has to lease its pipes to a local joint, I save $30 a month on the same deal from the locals.
Wow. Long article, but I look forward to finishing it. I attended high school in Chattanooga, my parents both have family roots there. In the 80s it didn't offer much except Civil War tourism and local mountain-oriented [read: again: "tourist"] attractions.
There's a so-called "Gig City" just an hour away, downstream digitally speaking, on the same damned fiber network on which I'm limited to 50Mbps max. The fiber passes less than a block from my house. Still, it's by far the fastest and bestest interwebz I've ever had, though it does drop out frequently. I'm guessing the riches with the gig don't drop out so much.
I mentioned this before, one of the great things about San Jose State is their bitchin' wifi/internet speeds. 20 MB/s. When I started at CWRU in 1995, they were the first university to have fiber to every room on campus. The rest of the internet took a while to catch up, but my friend Louie ran a Dave Matthews mp3 server to the world from his lab.
Not at all. In fact I've looked at little places on the west side of the rain forest (but away from the tsunami zone) as well as on the peninsula and Port Angeles. I see myself (if I'm lucky) living in a 5th wheel or destintation-model trailer.
Washington is closer to Canada, has cooler weather, and shitloads of parks. Still great fishing as well as the opportunity to harvest (or even grow) your own oysters. I don't like the idea of earthquakes however.
Does that graphic remind anyone else of | This? |
It should; that's where I filched it. Loved that show soooo much.
I just figured it out.
Oh, that's only because | that is where it's from. |
Loved it too, perfectly subversive at the right time. Doonesbury's "Ron Headrest" also too.
"Zik-Zak Corporation:

You want everything we make."
Kinda pricey, tho.

California too dry?

Yes, too little water and too much wildfire. And mud slides. And traffic.
On the plus side, earthquakes!
