I'm not big on flying cars, but I'll take one of those jet-packs!

Welcome to the world of videos of other people's cats and other people hurting themselves or doing stupid/dangerous things in/on vehicles. ;D  The real benefit of a high-speed connection, for me at least, is streaming video (and not just porn 8)).  Between Netflix, Hulu, and iTunes, we get all the shows we want, on demand, and for far less than we'd pay for the same options from the cable company.

You are going to be amazed at the speed. Things will just appear instead of loading forever.

It's not often this happens, but my ISP has just reduced my monthly bill by $10 & doubled my d/load limit to 100,000MB.
I was really surprised when I got that email.
Enjoy your new connection  :D

Dayummmm!!! Didn't think they still had dial-up! (AOL..............woah!!!). I lived in the boonies a coupla years back and had this Wild Blue dish set-up. It was fast but it was like $50 per month. I don't think I could ever do dial-up again. It would be like going back to black & white TV or having to get off my a$$ to change the channel (isn't that one of the reasons people have children???)........... ;D ;D
