Lol Rich Lowry admitting it’s all about “owning the libs”

 

I’ve seen so many yard signs that say “Trump 2020 make liberals cry again”

 

I could see it going either way. Does beating Trump show "woke liberalism" works and people keep up the pressure knowing if we fight we can win? Or does it cause people to feel like they don't need to fight anymore? Does losing to Trump mean people keep fighting? Or do they simply give up because we can't win?

 

Users working from home are running into internet usage limits as ISPs reinstate data caps they suspended at the beginning of the pandemic

 

I don't believe shit until TMZ reports it.

 

This is so stupid. Also, companies should provide a stipend if they expect their workers to connect at home.

 

Is now a bad time to start watching The West Wing?

 

This and arbitrary data caps/throttling on phone plans are two things that make me irrationally angry when I think about them too often.

 

we have fiber and have been having issues when we're both on zoom calls during the day so maybe that's why then.

 

someone asked about this on one of our calls recently and got shot down so quick. It’s bullshit.

 

So glad I got rid of Comcast for a smaller fiber company (MetroNet). Better service, wayyyy faster speeds, no data cap, and of course cheaper.

 

Except not Garland. But yeah right Gorsuch going along with that.

 

Same, got rid of Comcast last year and switched to CenturyLink, a smaller provider here in MN, and they have insane speeds and no data cap, all for $85 a month, which is amazing

 

Damn, have they got the clone ready to go yet?

 

I had to wait a year for them to finally get the fiber lines/equipment to my area of town but man it was worth it. That call to Comcast to cancel is a great feeling.

 

Bro you can't get on USI Wireless? I'm at $50 / month for fiber

 

We have FiOS, I don't think there's a data cap? We pay way more than I'd like for speeds we definitely don't get so there better not be a cap lol

 

looks like "yes" to me.

 

And no data cap? I'm not sure if we get USI Wireless where I'm at, but I can check into it. I'm at a house with multiple dudes in it though, so we split the price between us all, so it's not too bad per person

 

The internet providers here are in cahoots. You can see the map that Comcast covers and the map that Wave covers and there is basically no overlap. Guess its easier for them to divide up the territory than have to compete on pricing.

 

Still think the Internet should be a utility and free to taxpayers.

 

lmao
