Carole Dear Carole Just pure BS. The definition of Broadband changes faster than the weather. Sure, Internet speed is constantly increasing, theoretically. Here, for example, they installed Fiber, against my wishes. Now I am getting 29 Mbps from here to the ISP, just like I got before with DSL. Ho-hum. The problem is not between here and the ISP, but to get THROUGH the ISP and to the site, that I want to visit. That has actually slowed down and become less reliable. It will definitely improve by 2030, no matter who dispenses the BS from the WhiteHouse. There is nothing you have to or can do about it. Have FUN!

Suddenly, he noticed a huge animal walk by. "Och, whut's thaaat?" he said. His Canadian friend looked out and said, "Oh, that's a moose." "Och! If thaaat's a moose, hoo big are your cats aroond here?"
