[FRIAM] Comcast blows! who else does legit internet in town.

[Barry MacKichan]

One of the compensations for moving from Santa Fe, NM to here (near 
Durham, NC) is that gigabit internet is almost universal, at least in 
the newer neighborhoods. We had a choice of two fiber connections at the 
corner of our property.

What I’ve discovered is that there are not many sites out there that 
will pump the bits out that fast, so a gigabit connection is only 
marginally better than, say, 300 megabits.

Still it feels good to go to Speedtest.net and see the needle jump up to 
800 megabits.
