Yeah it'll just keep going higher and higher the later it gets LOL

Lol. You know I'd probably trade the ocean for my fast Internet. Nowhere near a f'n ocean in Atlanta.

But your cars and bikes get a a marine layer on it whenever you pull out of the garage.

I have a waterless detailer come by. It's actually not bad, pay him $40 a week with tip it's $50. Does my cars in my garage. Man, he's been doing this since he was in high school. He's graduated college and now it's a full fledged detailing business. He also has a contract with the LA BMW and Aston Martin and Bentley dealerships. He's doing pretty good and this isn't what he was going to school for lol. Such a good dude - he brings his father with him sometimes. (His father loves the beach) so they go hang out or grab some food and go walk on the beach. Like I said, he's such a good dude.

Do you have AT&T fiber? I love there's no cap because my current plan with Xfinity is capped at 1.2TB. They want another 30 bucks to get unlimited. Screw that.

Speaking of Peacock, the ONLY damn thing I watch on that network is EPL games, specifically Chelsea. Lol. I was wondering if I ditch Xfinity which comes with complimentary Peacock premium whether I'd really fork over money as a separate paid for app or not. It seems NBCsn shows a lot of EPL games lately which is good.

The other big deal to me regarding fiber is ultra fast upload speeds, not just downloads.

I'm on the fence about dropping the $4.99/month for Peacock+, especially with Arsenal sitting at the bottom of the table.....

Doh! Sorry to hear that. Yeah it's not looking good for Arteta and Arsenal. I don't think they've even scored a goal yet. Lol. Well you can be like UncleWede and support 2 teams.

Maybe one of the potential champions this season (take your pick).

Sadly, a court ruling yesterday has just taken locast.org off the air for the foreseeable future.....

My Merseyside Derby team is Everton, so I guess there's still hope for 2021.

Funny thing is that I'm a very small minority owner of Manchester United, but have a policy about not getting emotionally attached to investments so I only root for the dividend checks.....

If Adama were to move to another team, I'd switch "loyalties"

Damn I thought my $90/mth for ATT Fiber Gigabit connection was good. Probably still is in this market, I remember calling in 2019 or 2020 and they were not offering any better deals, they basically said everything they can offer is higher than I am paying so I stayed on it.

Can't complain though, service has been great. 1gbps up/down is more than I need but great to have.

TiMSport · 09-17-2021, 09:24 PM

So I officially pulled the trigger with AT&T today for their Fiber 1000 Internet service. Scheduled to get it installed next Wednesday. Got it for the advertised cost of $60/mo. + $10 for the gateway. $70 is a great deal considering what it is, plus they're throwing in HBO Max for free which is nice since I didn't have it. That alone is normally 15 bucks. NO contract.

Also, for placing an order online and being a new customer, I'm getting $400 worth of prepaid Visa cards!

Compare that with Xfinity whom I've been paying well over $200/mo. for a Triple Play package. It became real clear to me when I had a chat with Xfinity about my contract expiring next month. They said if I sign another 2 year contract (fuck that) I'd be eligible for a discount but it won't be as cheap as my current rate! WTF?!? I have the Gigabit speed with Xfinity but have a data cap at 1.2TB which is a load of shit too. They want an extra $30 to remove the cap. I don't think so.

As discussed before in this thread, I'll see what streaming package I want for television content. Probably go with Hulu Live TV first. YouTube TV and Direct Stream are other options but we'll see. The great thing is none of these are based on a "contract". Just goes to show how messed up Comcast/Xfinity is. A customer of almost 12 years and yet I have to sign on for another 2 years to even get a shitty discount.
