Re: [FRIAM] Starlink

[Robert Ballance]

“Vexus” https://www.vexusfiber.com/ plans to roll out fiber to the home in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, but Mañana.  That might vex us, but I have encouraged my neighbors to visit their site and check for services at their address. You will then get a chance to say you’d like to be offered service. This is one way to register demand.  ... Bob On Sep 12, 2024, at 12:42, Gary Schiltz <g...@naturesvisualarts.com> wrote:  Mañana.

When I left in 2018, fiber still seemed in the distant future. Our new house in North Carolina, when built, had two fiber boxes by the street, one for CenturyLink and one for Spectrum. Since then, another one was added (unfortunately they accidentally cut the fiber line into the house, sending us back a century for about a week). We pay a bit over a hundred a month for a full gigabit. It is cheaper (per bit) at half a gigabit, but we were running a business and went for the full gigabit. Since the infrastructure act was passed, our county has been flooded with trucks towing huge spools of orange fiber cable. They are running alongside rural roads and along the village roads back from the main roads. It looks like fiber will be within a hundred yards of almost every driveway. We have the option of upgrading to 2 gigabit service, and lord knows what we could do bonding together three different providers 😉. — Barry On 12 Sep 2024, at 10:30, Gary Schiltz wrote: It depends on what's on the other end of your fiber connection :-)  Here in land that tech forgot, getting more than a few tens of megabits feels luxurious. One carrier has fiber optic passing over my property, and they offered to tap into it and give me 20 megabits for the low low price of $100 a month. Starlink's 300 megabits for $45 a month is heaven on earth. Isn't Santa Fe still sort of part of the third world?

Appallingly enough. We get snow storms and stuff, is it a blackout then? Asking because Comcast is going. From sometime early this morning to about 20 minutes ago being out. Being legendarily terrible and no one has had the korvnka's the slap them with a RICO anti-trust suit yet. God only knows why.  So looking starlink and open to other options: they have to real propper internet, at least 200mbs each way and white-glove levels of service. CC owen as well. I suspect we've both had enough. -. --- - / ...- .- .-.. .. -.. / -- --- .-. ... . / -.-. --- -.. .
