Other sides worth considering are
-Time: No one sane or sober should put up with the amount of time it takes DSL to do anything online. At present when I when I want to wach videos on a MOOC that range from as small as 4 minuts to as long as 20 it's AT LEAST 20 minutes to wait for the damn things to cache enough to wach with out pausing all the damn time.
-Time: You want to cach up on the news? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAHHAHAHAHA I hate to laugh but that is an excersize in pain.
-Time because right now any kind paches and fixes to everything software related over right now like pulling a bowling ball through your ears.
-Time Because it just plain sucks that a bunch of people are being gaint jerks (it's sunday) any won't admit it just sucks to have DSL to the home.
Time Because you probably have other things to do in the day than HOPE what ever you want to do won't take so damn long it's a all day Adventure.
-It's just the right and possibly fun thing to do! I for one don't particularly care who said who had coodese. I do find the situtation amusing and on the other side of the screen are smiling and just saying:
In MY experience it bliping sucks. So what can I personally do about it? It just sucks that the other day some lady was almost to tears because she was rightfully concerned she lost some pictures, and my damn remote session to help her was a slide show.
-It's election season. So if a Tech minded congressman or senator or whoever wants a snowballs chance on Kronos to get elected they better have a plan for NM's tech and internet.
-Election season meens they can realisticly put it there agenda.
-Funding-
It's tricky to get funding for ventures here. But it's pleasently straitforward to do so (sort of).
-BAZZINGA!-
Software these days gets bug fixes fast. Those aint small. I speak to personel experience. Mint and Ubunto rock. But those updates need to come to me somehow.
-Hard drives suck-
It sucks WAY more to loose your stuff. The cloud rocks. But backups with what I have take a while. It's great my internet is rock solid and just works though.
During snow or any kind of thunder storm My personal experience is that my internet and cell service when I may need to get people that know way more about cars Force Be With me that Bob doesn't need me because he's justifably woried about 999 issues and just wants a friendly face.
Right now? and kind of magnetic interference makes that impossible
That has to come to an end. The sooner the better.
We right now frankly are bent over and take in the Blip with any sort of tech. NM is on bliping DSL. a 80's tech. I know I was proudly selected to be a DSL tester for cable co-op Palo Alto. Then an ADSL tester. I had a modem that looked like something someone would show point to at Ten-Forward while two young techies tell me about the phasing system over a cop of Xalaria.
I think CyberMesa Kicks ass. But I think they can do way better
Do we N-Need Gigabyte speed infra now? Hell yes we do! It has to come along with improvements to this fun quant quirkt town located in Eureka, where right now at Qazzars you can here Einstein and Tesela argue over wich Dark Toom to go on safari to first.
And why not?
ELEPHENTS IN THE ROOM:
Can I speculate about what people on this list seem to be dancing around?
SPECULATION?
Cox is self named because there service sucks ass, and is fucking expensive, they're a bunch of dicks as far as I can tell so no one goes with them for long.
Coolness!
Option B:
CyberMesa rocks: DSL for the most part. But they simply rock! KFA reliablity prices, great techies etc.
So I for one have had enough of the...ONE option.
Where is the OTHER option? Ya know the one where get bad ass portable Networking worthy of the name 2016 Bazzinga speeds where you find yourself screaming: To infinity and beyond? ? oO
ELEPENTS IN THE ROOM:
People don't want DSL because it's slow for what I suspect they do. and frankly no one sane or sober should put up with DSL they want options that don't suck:
-They want to run bit-torrent to nab TV or radio shows that aren't availble. that other desnmore wants carde-blanch style tv and no cord.
-Techies like to The Piratebay, Abadnbay, InternetArchieve and Linux to get stuff that simply aint avilable.
So if I may paint a picture of why I suspect Friam somewhere between Frustrated and Infurated with tech in NM:
They want the option to to do backups, hack node+colejet+javascript(or Bazzinga/ Brithon.IO), work from home and smoke me a kipper done by lunch to go get stoned and melt in the absurdly beteutiful suny beaches of SoCal like Orange County or CrystalCove, some prefer Montera or Olympea WA. while chilling and waxing poetic and talking about over a half a beer or two all while talking about the BlimpCataptains with two wonderfully energetic nephiews.
You can't have that kind of lifestyle and fucking expensive and unreliable comcast/cox. It takes to damn long over CyberMesa.
Bring on Ting. PowerGrid, StarNet and anyone else that is game to take on the challenge! ^_^
