I'm a geek, a husband, and a dad… not necessarily in that order.

I’ve decided to take the plunge and upgrade the internet from my ISP. I currently have their “High-Speed” internet which is 7Mbps download and 640 Kbps upload. While it’s not horrible slow, I wouldn’t mind some more speed, so I’m upgrading to their FibreOp which was just recently rolled out in my area. With the FibreOp I should have speeds of 20Mbps download and 15Mbps upload, at the same price I was paying.

They’re supposed to be here sometime today, so after they’ve come and gone I’ll take an “After” speed test and post the results here.

It’s almost the end of August, September will be here soon, and that means that all the new shows will be starting up soon. These are a few of the new shows that I plan on checking out.
