@MidnightRider I'm gonna disagree w/you on that.

True facts.

@InvaderGzim zounds. We have 'dark fiber' in my town here, but getting our housing development wired up to it would be muy expensive, so nobody's done it...

@InvaderGzim I think my existing setup is pretty good--these are good speeds, aren't they?

@AverageCitizen yeah, we rented one from comcast for a long time before I ponied up for my own modem. It has way paid for itself.

@ReneeVoiceBrand ah, yes--I don't actually have any cable TV at all. Comcast is my ISP only.

@InvaderGzim ah--thanks! I can confirm current modem is DOCSIS 3. It's been running fine for 6 years now.

I suppose if I do upgrade the modem, my router might become a bottleneck. That's pretty long in the tooth also...

Hmm--comcast is telling me they have "upgraded my speed" but to take advantage, I need to buy a new cable modem.

I do not trust these people. Anybody know if this is e.g., a lure to get me to agree to some new pricing or data limits or whatever?

LOL--sound on for this one:

things that are conspicuous, now that I'm paying attention to our usage:

- running the dryer
- (especially) plugging in the car

@realDDGlover heh--those are just begging to be filled with cats

Good day for #solar generation at the Pardee household...

@nonayadambidnes LOL

Pretty sure that's Bob Belcher

@1Firewire awright--EVERY TIME I see a picture of Rick Scott I'm reminded of this here:

LOL! 'Gin Laden'... 🤣
