1. All I wanted to do was print in Black but my printer made me buy Overpriced Color ink. Trashed the machine long ago.

Will never use a rip off printer again. Paper is history. My office is paper free.

Also ditched the Overpriced Gillette Blades and got an Electric Shaver

Also Ditched the Washington Post.

2. I'm not subscribed to anything except a phone line with internet

and I am seeking a way to escape that because the speed I get is 1/2 the speed I pay for.

4. Check this out...

It was suggested to me by a fellow DUer and now I am very satisfied with $15/mo for 5G internet was able to dump Rectum who wanted $90/mo just for internet access.

5. Hey thanks!

I did check that out, and they only cover my area in Wireless. The fine print on that deal is it was $60 for the router, now $80, and you get 23Gb of high speed per month, then speed is based on availability. Of course it is something like 20-50Gb speed whereas I get about .55Gb. But I use about 600-700Gb per month I think. The modem is not reusable, can't be sold. 7 days to try it and return it.

However I appreciate the reminder. Change happens slowly, must examine all angles.

6. It isn't...

The answer for everyone but for those of us who can make use of it, it's great. T-mobile recently started full coverage in Montana so I am blessed with a hot spot to piggyback on that 5G network. I turn it off when not in use. Once in a while, not often, it gets bogged down but if I restart the hot spot, it's all good by the time I go back to it... minutes at most.

7. I get bottlenecks with the service i have, 2-3 times a week.

Noon, 4pm, and early evening are the worst.

8. How do you estimate how much data you're using per month? (n/t)

9. Hours per day online

Somewhere I read the average user is about 20GB per day? I think.
