Speed Gibson

I upgraded to digital cable and high speed internet last August. Everything worked great until the colder temperatures began playing havoc with my 15 year old outside wiring. Maybe the windstorm that felled hundreds of trees and knocked our power out for four days had an effect, too. It seemed like the internet would drop out when the temperature fell below 40 degrees. I didn't want to start any posts if I couldn't finish them. I've managed to leave a comment here and there, but little more.

Well, I had the boys out from Comcast this morning and we replaced it all from the pole on in. And now the splitters are indoors, too.

I ran a few tests, and it's wonderful again. Powerline News still takes 15 seconds to load, but that's not a connection speed issue.

How did I ever survive on dial-up?
