Sometime in the last 12 months Eastlink dropped their gigabit cable by $40 where I am so I’m hopeful for incoming competition finally.

Choose the recluse house! I bought a cheap house with neighbours and now the recluse houses are expensive. I made the bad choice.

I prefer that when done properly a network admin is simply forgotten about.
Where’s my network admins at?
I found this too be quite interesting:
To me, this makes all the “I’m an alpha, like a wolf” bumble even funnier. Nah, you’re just a cat person with poop on the brain.
