I've been in this apartment in Colorado for nearly 2 weeks and I've been living off my company Sprint aircard. Only marginally better than dialup. :(

Comcast installed my cable 2 days ago. I got around to activating the moden yesterday.

Today I went to Office Depot and bought a new G router... A Linksys with the VOIP phone ports in it. $129 paid, - $10 off next purchase (they have a desk I want for $79), - $50 rebate for signing up with Vonage which I'll be doing next week once I get some $$ in my PayPal account (to use my debit card).

So after digesting a huge Maggianos dinner (paid for by my company) along with too many Cap'n&Cokes I hooked up the router.

I've gotta say, the $42 a month Comcast is charging seemed steep. But the subjective speed blows away my $35 a month Adelphia connection I had in Anaheim, CA. And that's comparing direct ethernet connect speeds.

I feel better now.

:D

As far as being in Colorado instead of California? :thumbsdown:

The snow is cool though. My bus loves the snow. I plow through sh!t other vehicles get stuck in. :)

There's piles of snow built up around buildings and such and the clearance on the bus allows me to really dive into it. heh
