My wife is from Mexico so I'm fairly familiar with the disadvantages when it comes to things like the internet. I'm not sure how much of the country is on wind or solar, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's going that way.

The utility companies may not be wholly owned by the government up here, but they might as well be. They are pretty heavily regulated, taxes and fees added on, and I'm sure there's got to be subsidies of some kind, too.

The government's only going to be able to supply it cheaply if someone else is paying taxes, or workers are being paid next to nothing, which generally isn't the case. So, whoever's footing the bill should be thanked.

You'd mentioned the banks before in a post, I believe. I find it interesting, but hey, from the standpoint of having access to funds all week long, it's good. You just won't have anywhere to spend it, until Monday, apparently. :)

I believe where my brother-in-law in California lives (Santa Ana) that the internet is all over the air. It's not the most efficient way to serve it up, but it costs less to throw up the towers than it does to lay the lines.

We've got Comcast for Internet. It's really the only option available to us because the telephone company decided not to include our little neck of the woods in it. Which is fine. Comcast is faster and therefore cheaper if you're using the internet regularly.

Oh heck yeah about Comcast, all of the big guys.. them, att, Verizon, spectrum, those are the companies I’m spoiled with. Now it takes me just about as long to load this....

As it does for the actual sun to rise! But one thing you won’t read from me, sir, is a complaint—nope! If you ever see me complaining about having too much time, I’d question the author.. sounds like an imposter to me!
