I have some food for thought to share but first an update. A technician
came out today to check the line and setup. Line was clear and strong.
Switched the modem and now getting 256 down. But . . . internet is
still very slow to connect as verified by several of you. Once it gets
to where it's going, it is really fast. So here's my conclusion . . .

I think we are finally seeing the effects of the demise of Net
Neutrality. Corporations are raking in a lot of money streaming videos
to every imaginable device and the tech sites that I/we frequent are a
low priority. So we are being bumped to the slow lane. Aaron Swartz
and others saw this coming and it has finally arrived. Will be
interesting to see just how bad it's going to get . . .
