Bad News: No DSL Service

[matrixrefugee]

*GOOD NEWS*: When I called Verizon today, I learned that our town has the technology for fiber optic Internet service, which is faster even than DSL. Thus, I've ordered the service and if everything goes according to plan, I will be dial-up free after February 23rd. I'm so excited, I'm shaking a little, and I'll admit, these next two and a half, three weeks are gonna be a little tough to get through, but this buys me a lot of peace of mind. No more slow connections. No more Juno screw-ups. No more download times that take foooorrreeeevvveeeerrrr.... The MxO will run a lot smoother. I'll able to listen to all these neat Catholic radio shows that I just can't access on this slow connection. I can download BitTorrents of "Supernatural" episodes I've missed. I can upload the book I've been trying to publish since forever. And what's more, my dad and I won't be bickering over using the phone line. He can talk to his crazy friends and I can be on the 'Net at the same time. God, I sound like the old Verizon DSL commercial. :: Laughs::

Congratulations! I remember way back when, when we switched to non-dial-up: a few weeks from now, you'll seriously feel like you were living in the Dark Ages.
